Plants with tall (dullish) green stems (saw someone in one of the fields and they were almost up to his shoulders), fairly big leaves and a cluster of bright yellow flowers right on the top. I was someplace South of Stoke when I saw them but in some places these things went on as far as I could see into the distance. They were planted in rows and (it seems to me) that they are therefore cultivated. Pretty things to see which brightens up an otherwise extremely boring journey. Could anyone tell me what they are please? Rapeseed oil - gorgeous colour, isn't it? I think it's known as canola oil in USA. You should see it planted next to a field of linseed - it almost hurts your eyes! I think the scent is rather nice as well although a lot of people don't like it and an awful lot of people are allergic to the pollen. My grandson on a visit to West Yorkshire said there must no proper farmers because there was no yellow ground. Its a good job the farmers there couldn't hear him :-)) -- Sue Begg Remove my clothes to reply Do not mess in the affairs of dragons - for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup! |
