The first flower I have photographed this year is the Winter Heliotrope (Petasites fragrans). Several sites have disappeared, so this one, in the hedge below the Park Hotel in Thurso (on the rugby ground side of the road) is the only one I know about. It differs from the White Butterbur by having smaller rounder leaves and finer flower stems and the petals are mauve to white. Is there any more anywhere?
Sorry folks, I can't get the picture to show!
