Eyes left!

            The young, fresh flowers of Coltsfoot (Tussilago farfara) look in need of all the sun that they can get.
These beautiful signs of the oncome of Spring were spotted beside the Staffordshire and Worcestershire canal close to Tixall Lock, Tixall, Staffordshire.
These plants were used for both medicinal and food use in the past, their medicinal qualities relating to coughs and problems with the respiratory tract, but the discovery of toxins which can cause liver problems have led to a decline in their use.
