A German folktale tells of how when it was young the colourless snow ❄️ once begged the beautiful flowers to share their colours with it but they jealously refused. All that is except for the humble little Snowdrop (maybe guided by it's fairy), who eagerly shared it's bright white colour with the snow. In return the snow afforded the little Snowdrop protection during the cold winter months and promised to never harm it ❄️🩵

@spl_int Common/English Ivy....mostly all you really get around here unless it's spreading from people's gardens

@Truffula13 Land to purchase? I think there's always land to purchase somewhere but so much of Northern Ireland is farmed (over farmed) and farming is subsidised so I think it's between 10k and 20k per acre sadly

@TaiChi_John I visited it via another well on the other side of Newry as my wife is a terrible co-pilot

@amel52015 Quite possibly! For now I'm content to remain in ignorance and presume it is magic 🤣✨

@pondsntrees @newsfromrob I can't remember the tune but we were looking for a Rath in Rostrevor yesterday and one of the.loejs was "burn every garden centre to the ground" to the time of a Ghost song my wife was playing.

@pondsntrees @newsfromrob Brilliant kids need that! This looks great in my garden...well no.....and it definitely doesn't look great in the wild places that it has spread to either

@newsfromrob @pondsntrees That seems to be the only option! Maybe they should try having a native section And at the very least invasives should be marked as such but frankly should be illegal
