By jim bruce: Hi, brilliant pictures Roger, Blake springs to mind-'to see the world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower'. I just got back from the Great Orme, Llandudno, and was trying to id a monocot i didnt recognise and stumbled across this picture. All of the plants I seen had definite white petals with a prominent blue stripe up the centre of each petal. I wondered if it was a crocus of some sort similiar to sand crocus but I reckon it was a white form of Spring squill, hope you well, see you.
