🩸🧚 From Bluidy-fingers to Fairy thimbles and Witches' paps, can you guess which plant Greg is talking about?
It's the common Foxglove! Combining the elegant spires of pink flowers and their preferred habitat of sunny banks at woodland edges, it might sound surprising that the vast majority of this plant's Scottish names relate to the fairy folk, witches or death.
Dr Greg Kenicer is the author of Scottish Plant Names, an A-Z exploring the brilliant and amusing ways in which language has influenced plant names throughout the ages all across Scotland.
Scottish Plant Names is available to buy now online and in person from the Botanics Shop. Visit the link in our bio or head to rbgeshop.com to start shopping 📚

🥀✂️ How to Deadhead a Rose in 60 seconds!
With a pair of secateurs, Garden Manager Kirsty Wilson shows you how to deadhead your roses in just two easy steps. Follow these instructions to ensure your rose bushes are full of beautiful blooms all summer long!
Deadheading our ornamental roses throughout the summer months encourages repeat flowering, preventing the rose from producing seeds in the hips and giving it the energy to flower again.
