      Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy

      Ajuga reptans

      This is a real earworm for me, triggered by the first spikes of violet-blue.

      These belong to the Blue Bugle, ๐ด๐‘—๐‘ข๐‘”๐‘Ž ๐‘Ÿ๐‘’๐‘๐‘ก๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘ . The Dutch name, zenegroen, points to an older use, as a wound herb. French gives us bugle rampante, describing form rather than function.

      โ€œBugleโ€ is a centuries-old word in English, from Old French, referring then to a curved hunting horn. No poacher would have set out with one.

      The small, two-lipped flowers stand in ranks on upright stems, ever ready to sound the chasse for the faerie folk.

      Hallali!
