| 説明 | Narcissus 'Van Sion' at Monewden. This double-form daffodil may be seen in large numbers in a field at Monewden. The plant was first flowered by Vincent Sion, a Fleming, living in London in 1620.Who planted the original stock in the parish of Monewden? Frederick William Martin took the Rookery Farm in 1899 from the Garnham family, who are believed to have held the farm for several generations. Gravestones in Monewden churchyard record Garnham burials from 1830 - 57 and Narcissus 'Van Sion' can be seen growing on three of the graves.Martins' Meadow. These three meadows are among the few flower-rich hay meadows still left in Suffolk. As they have never been fertilised, sprayed or drained, the site supports a wide range of wildflowers. To maintain the meadows’ diversity management is by a summer hay cut followed by aftermath grazing. In spring and early summer, visitors can enjoy superb displays of wildflowers, including early-purple, green-winged and pyramidal orchids. In late summer the meadows bloom once more, this time with meadow saffron. Most of the hedges enclosing the site are at least 100 years old and contain many different species of trees and shrubs including field maple, hazel, hawthorn and spindle. They are maintained by rotational coppicing or laying, in which sections are periodically cut to the ground, encouraging them to re-grow and thicken to produce a dense hedge that is good for wildlife. The reserve also has two orchards which include many local varieties of apple, along with pear, plum, quince, medlar and walnut. |
