Boo! Seasonal Wildflower Lore
In “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” a crowd of villagers has adorned the head of an unfortunate woman with a conical hat, and has fastened a long, pointy false nose to her face. Yelling, “Witch! Witch!”, they demand she be burned at the stake, mostly for its entertainment value. What does this have to do with wildflowers, you ask?
