We first saw it last year but feared that the Council' Strimmers might have razed it to the Ground (as they did last year). A few (planted) Daffodils and Crocuses also grow on the Verges and we wonder whether the Mowers and Strimmers are holding off until they have had time to flower &c.
We are not aware of any other Springbeauty growing locally so we reckon it's important that this population is given a chance to survive. Sadly though and based on recent experience, it is probably fair to say that no-one connected to the local Council will have the slightest interest in its survival, or otherwise. Indeed, the Council seem to have minimal, if any, interest in local Wildlife &c.
Also flowering on the Verge is Common Chickweed, Groundsel, Lesser Celandine, Musk Stork's-Bill (we were previously aware of Common Stork's-Bill growing in the area: but not Musk Stork's-Bill) viz.
Red Dead-Nettle and Shepherd's-Purse.
