| | | Wood Spurge Flowering
Last year I got really excited when I spotted a patch of this in my area.  
I thought I had found wood spurge but it just turned out to be a garden escaped Turkish Wood Spurge.
Now I have gone back to it and found just brown bits where the flowers should be. A week ago it was in bud. Could the flowers have gone over so quickly? |

Consistent -5 temps could do it! 
Shame.

Nothing wrong with a little underhand (CREATIVE) photography!
You'll be doing a Cottingley Fairies next!
