This is a type of toothwort - the greenery is all natural vegetation, mostly wood anemones. The tall pink spikes are the flowers of the toothwort which is a subterranean parasite on the roots of trees, as it has no chlorophyll of its own.
This is taken from a high woodland path, looking down onto the river Liffey as it flows below.
Your photos are always wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing all the flowers of spring. Some of the blooms are so short-lived giving way to just greenery. Makes a walk, or in our case a bike ride along the river yesterday, well worth it. Love the card too.
