Plant of the day
Monday 3 March
On the next sunny morning I will be out with a paint brush trying to pollinate my mandrake plant. Mandragora officiarum is a low growing herbaceous member of the nightshade family, if pollinated these flowers develop onto a ring of fruit on the surface of the soil. I will not be digging up the root to see if it screams!
