Ranunculus ficaria
Svalört i april, i maj, i februari och i mars

Eva Ekeblad, 2003

The leaves of the Lesser Celandine
are turning pale and lanky
- and in S-weed territory
they're harrassed by the lawnmowers.

Through the cycles of my S-weed years
the first leaves of the Celandine
have been a resource for pagemaking
in early spring,
when fare might be rather meagre.

For the Celandine flowers I have had less space
- their time coincides with the S-weed spring boom
and after that I have lost track
of their lawnmowered remains
looking only half-heartedly for the bulbils.

Well: here's bulbils to fill the gap.
