1st-2nd February is Imbolc, a Gaelic festival celebrating the impending lambing season and the birth of new life. A Scottish legend tells that the arrival of snowdrops infuriates Beira, Queen of Winter, so she brings frost and snow as she battles to keep her hold. #FolkloreSunday

Some say the poisonous-fruited Euonymus is named after Euonyme who, in Orphic tradition, is the mother of the Erinyes, or “Furies”, the three sister-goddesses who represent vengeance. It is commonly called the spindle-tree because its wood was used to craft spindles, or distaffs.

Primrose flowers are amongst the earliest messengers of spring. Their name, Primula, means “little first one”, a nod to their pale golden blooms rising with the new year. Folklore says they must be tended with care, for neglected primroses may draw the displeasure of fairy folk.

Cold nights have worked their frosty magic on these ‘Golden Hornet’ crab apples, turning each one a different shade of gold, russet and dark plum. A little of nature’s alchemy, and suddenly the tree is decorated with small painted Christmas baubles!
