On the banks of an old farmland pond in Norfolk, the seeds of grass-poly have remained dormant in the mud, like a ‘time capsule’ for over a century. When willows were recently pulled out to restore the pond, this disturbed the soil and let in light, allowing the seeds to germinate. Vicky revives the delicate wildflowers in jubilant shoots on her design, appearing almost joyous to see the light of day again after so long. Joining in the carnival, China-marks, with their delicately-patterned white patches and streaks, scatter throughout. These moths are unusual in that their larvae are entirely aquatic, feeding on water plants, hence their placement in this pondside scene.
