Thread Name: The wild garden of Wales
Subject: RE: The wild garden of Wales
Oh ... and seeing as this isn't, so far, in the BS section, there's a nice Welsh song ... "blodau'r flwyddyn yw fanwylyd: Ebrill, Mai, Mehefin hefyd. Llewyrch haul yn twynnu ar gysgod, a gwenithen y genethod." or something like that. Compares his love to all the flowers of the year. And then there's the thyme, roses, rosemary, etc in 'Ar Lan y Mor'...

I've been pottering with a bit of personal research: I have an theory that Welsh songs tend to go for wildflowers and landscapes (occasionally fields and crops) more than gardens and stuff. "Wild" is winning so far.
