An ancient and battered cassette of Maddy Prior's music, stolen from a friend, contains a song detailing the personalities of various flowers in grand and dangerous style. The flowers mentioned, are, I believe, rose, thistle, poppy, and wallflower. The chorus goes something like this:"Stinking plant in the hedgerows, with grim grit will flourish
I'm sure I'm not hearing the words right, and can't make out some of them at all, but I'm captivated by what I CAN hear...can anyone give me complete lyrics? Help!
While nicely-bred orchids wilt in the front window florist's,
But dark mother earth will catch them all up
And trundle them back into the forest."A h-uile beannachd leibh,
