Narcissus Poeticus is the last daffodil to flower, well into March. It features in Greek legend, as Narcissus was turned into the white daffodil by Nemesis, & is also the flower that Persephone was gathering when she was abducted by Pluto.

The Blackthorn Fairy

The wind is cold, the seems long a-waking;
The woods are brown and bare;
Yet this is soon April will be making
All things most sweet and fair.

The periwinkle is the “sorcerers’ violet” in France. Its 5 petals are linked to the pentacle & it can be used as a protective amulet. The vines embrace & are thus linked to fidelity. To Culpepper it was an aphrodisiac, being grown by Venus.

And especially for clogs:
“Alder for shoes
Do wise men choose.”
