Iberis sempervirens, or evergreen candytuft. A native of SW Europe - hence the Latin name. Cultivated since the early-18th century.
This particular plant was photographed in Cicely Roche's magnificent gardens just outside Gorey, Co Wexford.
Cicely Mary Barker's wonderful Flower Fairies books have a fairy for nearly every common or wild flower out there and are so wonderfully evocative of what feels like a lost age of innocence. I've carefully chosen more delicate items to complement both the illustration and the elegant and graceful snowdrops.

Sweet cicely (Osmorhiza bertoroi) is a spring ephemeral, going to seed almost as soon as it blooms, which means I need to catch it when I spot it, even on windy days, because two days later it is just leaves with a few seeds whirling out at the end of their stems. The odor of the plant, when crushed, is like a mild fennel or aniseed.

Russell. Her maids of honor are Marjorie Bielby and Kathleen Jessie Hughes. All are under 13 and pupils of the White Rock School. The record-bearer is Dorothy Phillips. The coronation will take place on May 24, 1928
1928 White Rock, B.C. May Queen was Cicely Alma Russell
(b. 1916 in Canada - d. ) - she married John T. Washer in 1944 at Paddington, London, England. She was living in Nanaimo, B.C. in August 1965 as she signed her mother's death certificate.
Life Story of Former White Rock, B.C May Queen - Mrs. Cicely Alma (nee Russell) Washer - We were the first girl carriers In B.C., I think, and had to stand a great deal of ridicule because of it. Mrs. Cicely Washer, who, with her two sisters, delivered "The Province" newspaper around 1925-29. Cicely, Eda and Aileen rode a horse ever a nine-mile route in White Rock. "Mother was of the old school." Mrs. Washer says. "She definitely did not believe in children being idle. Besides the paper route, we had to help mother fence the property, cut 10 cords of wood by hand and help with the chores. The Province route certainly taught us the value of money and though we worked very hard we enjoyed it. I remember once when we had split up our money at the end of the month - about $6 each. The following morning we discovered a young boarder Mother had taken in had left In the middle of the night taking Eda's and my money. I guess he couldn't find Aileen's. When Eda, who was the oldest of the three sisters, graduated from high school in White Rock, she went to England for four years. Now Mrs. Eda Olivant, she is head cook at Qualicum Boys School on Vancouver Island. Youngest sister, Mrs. Aileen McEwan, is the mother of four boys. When Mrs. Washer finished high school she attended a business course in Vancouver and then left in 1936 for England, where she took a nursing course. She graduated at St. Charles Hospital in Kensington where she continued through the war years until 1946. In 1942 she married New Zealander (Christchurch, Canterbury) Sub. Lieut. John Theobald Washer. The couple moved to New Zealand in 1947 where Mrs. Washer specialized in tuberculosis nursing and chest surgery cases for five years. In 1963 they moved to Gabriola Island where, at the present, Mrs. Washer Is foster mother to three small Indian children. Ail three are In poor health requiring nursing care. She must feel acutely the dilemma of these children, for when she was delivering "The Province" newspaper years ago, Mrs. Washer herself was stricken with polo, which fortunately did not cause any permanent crippling.
Her husband John Theobald Washer (b. 1919 in Christchurch, Canterbury, New Zealand - d. British Columbia) became a Canadian citizen in December 1979 in Nanaimo, B.C. - he had served 4 1/2 years in the New Zealand Navy before moving to Vancouver Island after the war.

May Day celebrations occur in early May. Most include music, feasting, and playing games or dancing and singing in costume – and often around a Maypole. More recently in colonial British Columbia, May Day is celebrated at the end of May, and has been blended with British Queen Victoria’s (1819-1901) birthday on May 24. The community of White Rock celebrated the ancient spring festival of May Day for nearly 25 years (1923-1949), like many other towns in colonial British Columbia. LINK to the complete article - www.whiterockmuseum.ca/exhibits/a-merrie-may/
One of the most enduring annual events, May Day, was started in 1923 by the newly formed Parent Teachers Association. Incorporating the traditions and loyalties of the predominantly British citizenry, the first pageant was held on Empire Day at the school grounds. Inevitably, the festivities included a parade, topped off with dancing at Vidal’s Auditorium on the waterfront in the evening. Expenses for the event were $177.84, offset by income of $212.20. Candidates for May Queen qualified by being a White Rock resident; must have been in attendance at the White Rock Elementary School two successive terms; must have passed her 11th birthday, but not have reached her 14th birthday by May 24. Names of eligible girls were put before the school population in a vote held before April 14, the top five voted on again, and the winning three declared the royal party. The first May Queen was Marion McMillan, whose father worked at the Campbell River Lumber Company for a short time. Many of her successors, such as Billie Vidal, Cicely Russell, sisters Connie and Yvonne Dupraz, Meryl Barge, and Betty Lee were members of well-known families still remembered in the city. Recently deceased Dorothy Reid Bentley, queen in 1934, had strong ties to the community: her father, Clifford, was a local immigration officer in the 1930s, her husband a local businessman, and her son, Rick, is married to the daughter of Peace Arch News founder Roy Jelly. Another local early May Queen (1930), Shirley Bockus Dalgleish, and her husband, Alexander, have celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary. Shirley’s father, Casey Bockus, was in business with the legendary David Hughes, and like Hughes, very involved in community affairs. Custom dictated that Harry Vidal or Henry Thrift performed the duties of MC during the first decade’s pageants. Police chief Bill Moffat, Casey Bockus, J. Champion, John Grant, Harry Hayward, Harold Downey, W.D. Kerfoot and Roger Garstang were among those who later took on the responsibility. Eva Henry provided executive continuity, serving as vice-president and chaperone from 1932 to 1941. Because of the lean years of the Depression, no May Day celebration was held in 1938 or 1939.

Betty Fernyhough, passed away on October 21, 2015 after a long battle with cancer. Betty was born on July 12, 1929 in Murrayville, BC, the third child of Jessie Isobel (nee Blair) and John Ormsby Lee. The family moved to White Rock when she was 8 and, growing up there, she developed a love of the ocean and always enjoyed swimming wherever she went. Betty was crowned May Queen in 1941, and due to the war, reined until 1946. She graduated from Semiahmoo High School in 1947 and then attended Normal School in New Westminster.

I love the colours and the tortured shapes of the shrivelled leaves, and the architectural form of the seed heads, of Sweet Cicely, at this time of year.
