PREPARING FOR THE CUCKOO

One of the first woodland plants to push up out of the ground in spring.

The arrowhead leaves of Cuckoo Pint.

It's also a garden plant in my garden, popping up all over the unmown lawn and in the flower beds.  Not so welcome there but quite difficult to eradicate as the roots go deep.

BTW I haven't heard a cuckoo in Thornbury for decades.

In April come she will

In May she comes to stay

In June she changes her tune

In July she prepares to fly

In August go she must
