In the Eden Valley at the village of Morland were these Autumn Crocus growing by the river. Not sure of their origin but it is a very old village as you can read on the Church history plaque.
Thanks Philip. Further north than ever before. Old records give most northerly as Arnside in N. Lancs. (Except Dumfries, where said to be a garden escape.) Very old churchyards and sites of old monasteries/priories are likely places, it seems.
The NBN Gateway site shows some even more northerly locations, with a north – easterly bias. Even up on a horizontal with Inverness. I wonder of these are viewed as escapes?
Yes, a very interesting place. I had an enjoyable potter about the place a few years back.

Thanks Chris,
I'll have a look.
