Sacred Heart of The Burren

Followed by a cornucopia of Mountain Avens a shrub that creeps & forms mats Adorning limestone pavements at Coolorta & Roo a twin of Wood Anemones With eight White petals & a stamen Yellow centre same as eggs Flowering for six long months April, May, June, July, August & September. Brightening up our Burren across the seasons traipsing & dawdling On evening walks With a Cream & Yellow spectrum of Yellow canary gold Buttercup flaxen, butter, lemon, mustard, corn, Dandelion, fire, honey, Bumblebee, blond, pineapple, Tuscan sun, Dijon.

Our Sacred Burren is a Botanist Paradise III Mount Saint Joseph Abbey Richard Heaton first recorded Irish Botanist Two of his botanical finds from flora collection made into Present day Irish Stamps Of Blue Gentian & Mountain Avens. Where healing plants of wild Garlic & Valerian grow side by side Our Sacred Burren is a Botanist Paradise Whether boasting Burren habitats of Blanket Bogs or Orchid rich grassland To its calcareous springs & moist grazing grounds Its Turloughs Fens & Limestone Pavement & woodlands To its Heath’s, Sand dunes, Lakes or Scrub Or with its Blanket Bog covered in Bog Cotton & Bell Heather Conjuring up cushiony feathery squashy cottony cosy Boasting hues tints tones shades of ivory Beige zinc & Cremintz Pearly alabaster snow chiffon salt lace porcelain parchment With Bell Heather ringing out over the Blankets of Bog Wine mulberry plum Lilac heather.
