Refulgence


No plant that appears on Blacka and the Eastern Moors comes  close to rivalling the splendour of native Bracken. Seen at the right time, usually autumn and winter mornings, this much maligned plant exerts a regal magnificence and casts a hypnotic spell.


Yet, and this is extraordinary, it is one of the three most persecuted natural species on and around Blacka. The other two are, similarly, beacons of natural beauty. They are of course Red Deer and Birch trees.
