    Any chance of a Photograph so we can all see it and perhaps someone will recognise it.

    Very beautiful but not so rare. Loads growing wild.

    We have them in Wick. A few were growing in March road again this year but unfortunately got mowed.

    I have seen them growing in lots of lots of places in Caithness. Another place a couple of years ago was at the back of the coop in Wick.

    The show up in short grass but often they get mowed down before seed etc can set.
