Dog Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Found deep in the forest in amongst a few pine trees what looks like a Lachenalia a Cape Cowslip. Looks a bit like a cowslip but with longer blooms and spotted leaves.It's the first I've found and it must surely be a european variety but I am having trouble finding it listed as found in France.

Patf Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Can you give a picture? Could it be a yellow comfrey? They sometimes have spotty leaves, but always furry.http://www.plant-identification.co.uk/skye/boraginaceae/symphytum-tuberosum.htmLook at the next to last photo.

odile Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 yes we have those here too - apparently as said above they are natural hybrids.Sunny tonight - the forest across the valley is bathed in late sunlight - snow all gone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
