Thankyou for for your video. Brilliant. Saw this plant today by a river in the Yorkshire Dales and came here to find out more . Great information.
Lovely. Thank-you John. Great knowledge; confidently and entertainingly delivered.
Cheers John... great video

An ode to and celebration of the resurrection of Dyonisus ''mixed'' into the story in the form of a Butterbur- tincture. A fitting way to end this video!
p.p. John: Lovely to see the piece elevated to classical status Peter!
Nice vijeo...
It looks like they'd be in the same family, but is winter heliotrope synonymous with butterbur in Ireland? Maybe it's just because I know what it is now, but it seems to be everywhere I look, and I'd thought it was an invasive species.
Hello Michael - there is much more detail in Wildflowers of Offaly book by John - they are both in the same family - and winter heliotrope can certainly cover large areas particularly notable on stretches of road in east Offaly.
p.p. John: you mean winter heliotrope Michael. They're in the same genus and winter heliotrope is notoriously invasive. It seldom flowers successfully in the midlands because the flowers are frost sensitive.
Does this plant need the frost to endure and have energy for the next year or can it grow in warmer climates? Would it still die back?
