湿地に咲く花

The Runaways (English Edition) Goudge, Elizabeth Hesperus Press Ltd.

 

Streams ran through the fields, quick running streams that had come down from the hills, and kingcups lay in pools of gold beside them.

イギリスの小説らしく花の名前が色々出てきます。

kingcup は　リュウキンカ（立金花）

前にメモしたのは"Minnow on the Say" から。

They could still pick out its course, however, by the deeper green of the grass at its edge, and the marsh-plants that grew along it-- kingcups, and water forget-me-nots, and brook-lime.

もう何度も読んでいる"Minnow on the Say"に、こんな描写があったのか。

kingcup, water forget-me-not, brooklime

どれもmarsh-plants 湿地に咲く花。

やっぱり"mash"　いいよねえ。
