Summer snowflake, East Castle Street, Bridgnorth

Summer snowflake, East Castle Street, Bridgnorth

The front gardens of East Castle Street in Bridgnorth are worth watching at any time of year. This is a summer snowflake (Leucojum aestivum). It’s yet another introduced plant, but with an original range covering much of Eurasia it thrives in some parts of the country as a wildflower. Hence another of its names, the Loddon lily, from a tributary of the Thames.
