Crocus is a genus of flowers that derived its name from the Latin word crocatus, which means saffron yellow. The spice saffron comes from only one (Crocus sativus) of nearly 80 species.

Dydd Gwyl Dewi Hapus!
Happy St. David's Day!
You can find a few of the national symbols of Wales at #PhoenixFarmInWhiteCity
Daffodils are in bloom and give a much needed pop of colour in the garden. This contemporary symbol for Wales is an important commercial crop in Mid Wales to produce galantamine for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
We are also digging out the seed packets for leeks to sow this month. This humble vegetable was issued to Tudor guards to be worn on March 1st to honour St. David, patron Saint of Wales.

Beautiful day at #PhoenixFarmInWhiteCity welcoming back our wonderful volunteers.
We stacked compost for seed sowing, transplanted French sorrel, cared for the animals, and had a wonderful time catching up. All socially distanced in the great outdoors😊.

'The Little Red Hen' is an American fable first shared by Mary Mapes Dodge in St. Nicholas Magazine (1874). The story teaches children the importance of hard work and initiative.
Here are two of our red hens having a well-deserved rest after an industrious day.

A sign of spring this week at #phoenixfarminwhitecity ...frog spawning! Females lay eggs in well-vegetated shallow ponds. Fertilised spawn float to the water's surface. Depending on the weather, tadpoles will emerge 2-4 weeks later! 🐸

In #QueensParkGardens we took delivery of over 2000 #snowdrops in the green. As we got stuck in planting them in drifts in the rose garden, the sun came out ☀️

Rabbits were sacred to Aphrodite, for rabbits had 'the gift of Aphrodite' (fertility) in great abundance.
Our Percy is definitely a lover rather than a fighter😍.
