Yesterday, 2/11, a pair of botanically themed reports propagated within the news.

The first concerns a yew tree, not exactly to do with the code name of the police investigation into Glencoe-loving Jimmy Savile, but rather one situated at Fortingall in Glen Lyon. The two actually tenuously relate, given it was a Robert Campbell of Fortingall who led the clan when they massacred the unfortunate MacDonalds for being late in pledging their allegiance to William of Orange and House of Stuart Mary in a potential magickal blood sacrifice, but I digress.

Dr. Max Coleman, a “science communicator” at Edinburgh’s Royal Botanic Garden, has discovered female berries upon the hitherto male 2,000 – 5,000 year old  plant (BBC). It appears that the tree is waxing hermaphrodite, the small cluster of fruits appearing only on one small branch in the outer crown. I am not exactly sure what a science communicator is, but wonder whether it relates to the work of Robert Ogilvie Crombie, the chap who helped form the Findhorn Foundation and who met with mythical creatures including Pan in the aforementioned Garden. (The centaur spot)

What one has to perhaps bear in mind is that the tree is allegedly the oldest in Britain and was apparently a hotbed of Druid activity many moons ago; whilst local legend claims that Pontius Pilate was born in it’s shade and played under it as a child. A local man, Barry Dunford, wrote a book – The Holy Land of Scotland – in which he theorised that Jesus himself visited the tree. (wiki)

I’ve written before about the nefarious agenda of androgyny, the unisex human worker-slave of the future and perhaps, just perhaps, the sex-change yew alludes to that in a mystical manner. Certainly the Druids, who kept their beady eyes on nature, would have considered it some sort of portent.

Second up was indie-band, the Stone Roses. The Daily Record told yesterday morning of a forthcoming huge announcement concerning the band, apparently promoted by lemon decorated posters, at 7pm it was made, they are resurrecting again to play, in 2016, two concerts in Manchester and a third at Scotland’s T in the Park festival which now is sited at Strathallan Castle after it’s move last year. It’s only some 39 miles by road between Fortingall and Strathallan, the Roses last record release being Second Coming in 1994.
