A Star Performer Under Pressure

This is the site of the largest group of bog asphodel on Blacka. Sadly because of incomprehensible decisions by SWT the whole of this area was flooded last year. This left walkers with no alternative but to trample over the wet ground exactly over the spot noted for the best show of Blacka's most lovely flower. Let us hope that future years will bring a recovery.


Further down where the ground is unaffected by the flooding and people have been able to keep to the path there is still a modest display. The star shaped yellow flowers have a special appeal among bell heather and the dull swampy background. Fortuately the cattle haven't been this way yet.
