Pheasant's Eye
Along the "ribera de Gistain", you can currently find fields full of yellow daffodils and white pheasant's eye or "narcissus poeticus". A splendour to behold and a delight to smell. Both flowers have an elegant fragance, though the pheasant's eye is slightly stronger like a mixture of jasmine and vanilla. Needless to say, my flat smells wonderful these days.The flowers really need to be picked in their prime, a day to late and their heads will already start to droop. Just like the gathering of wild fruits, mushrooms, nuts etc..., if you do not go out on the right day/period, then you miss out. Having said that, everybody is awaiting the spring showers in order to revive the landscape and to help start all the vegetables planted in the gardens.
