Not being too good with wildflower identification, I looked it up when I got home. It's Chickweed Wintergreen (Trientalis europaea) which is apparently neither a Chickweed or a Wintergreen but a member of the Primrose family.
As is so often the case, the Gaels have a much more descriptive and evocative name: "Reul na Coille" - Star of the Wood
Excellent. That saves me looking it up! I found it on Bennachie and didn't know what it was either. I thought I was ok at wild flower identification, but it turns out that I'm only good at Orkney ones and the wildflowers in Aberdeenshire are often quite different.
ReplyDeleteHi Fiona, Glad to be of help! I guess having woodland flower species is a whole new ball game after Orkney? I hope you're settling in OK
