Nature's Devilish Delight - CRH-1036 and the Mischievous Legend of the Devil's Bit Scabious
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Chris Harvey, we are transported to the enchanting meadows of Oxfordshire, England. Here, a vibrant Large Skipper Butterfly gracefully perches on a bed of delicate Devil's bit scabious flowers (Succisa pratensis). But what makes this scene truly intriguing is the folklore that surrounds these unique blooms. Legend has it that the devil himself once grew furious with envy at the beauty of Virgin Mary's garden. In his rage, he sank his teeth into these very roots, leaving them short and stubby forevermore. Henceforth known as Devil's bit scabious! Despite its diabolical origins, this charming flower has become a beloved haven for bees and butterflies alike. Its damp waterlogged meadows provide an oasis for these delightful creatures to flutter about freely. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing snapshot captured by Chris Harvey, we can't help but marvel at nature's ability to weave tales even in its tiniest details. So next time you spot a Large Skipper Butterfly delicately sipping nectar from a Devil's bit scabious flower, remember their shared history – one rooted in mischief and blooming with beauty!
