The first Ramson flowers (Allium ursinum) of the season are now beginning to show themselves, at this stage still just buds though. Their stirring heralds one of my favourite seasonal events, those few weeks when the woodlands of the Purbeck and the Chase are a sea of green carpeted in millions of clusters of white stars, the air heavily garlic scented. At it's peak some of the woods we frequent are beautiful beyond words, and although I've seen them many many times before, I know I’ll be grinning in wonder at their majesty when I see them again.
