Erythroniums in Wemyss Castle Garden WoodlandToday, Wemyss Castle Gardens were the first gardens in Fife, this year, to be open under the Scotland's Garden Scheme. Wemyss Castle is on the Fife Coast a few miles East of Kirkcaldy. The woodland gardens there have a succession of Spring flowers, but the stars of the show are the Erythroniums (Erythronium revolutum). They were planted in small groups in the 1970s but have taken off in the last 15 years and have naturalised on the site in profusion. In the Spring they now make carpets of lilac flowers throughout the woodland garden.
