| | | Anyone seen a ferny hoolet?
Hehe, its one of the 'old names' for the Tawny Owl. Don't you just love it? I'm fasinated by all the old names for our wild animals and plants. Here are a few more examples: - Bird's Foot Trefoil - Eggs-and-Bacon / Hens and Chickens / Dutchman's Clogs
- Columbine - Granny's Night-cap / Granny's Bonnet
- Deadly Nightshade - Devil's Herb* / Enchanter's Nightshade* / Sorcerer's Herb*
- Goat's-beard - Johnny-go-to-bed-at-noon (love that one
 ) - Foxglove - Dead Man's Bells* / Fairy Thimbles* / Witches Thimbles*
* denotes really old ones source
Anybody know any other good ones? |
