At the top of the Massney Braes in Lundin Links there are bright blue patches of Chionodoxa. It is not a native plant but has naturalised in this spot. In Greek chion means snow and doxa means glory. It is an alpine that comes into flower as the snows melt in the mountains of Turkey, Crete and Cyprus.Sunday, 28 March 2010
