Geocache Description:

Marsh Marigolds grow near water and have showy, bright yellow flowers. 



 

In the UK, Caltha palustris is known by a variety of vernacular names, varying by geographical region. These include in addition to the most common two, marsh marigold and kingcup, also brave bassinets, crazy Beth, horse blob, May blob, mare blob, boots, water boots, meadow-bright, bullflower, meadow buttercup, water buttercup, soldier's buttons, meadow cowslip, water cowslip, publican's cloak, crowfoot, water dragon, drunkards, water goggles, meadow gowan, water gowan, yellow gowan, goldes, golds, goldings, gools, cow lily, marybuds, and publicans-and-sinners.[5] The common name "marigold" refers to its use in medieval churches at Easter as a tribute to the Virgin Mary, as in "Mary gold"

 



Early spring greens and buds of Caltha palustris are edible when cooked. Young leaves or buds should be submerged a few times in fresh boiling water until barely tender, cut into bite-sized pieces, lightly salted, and served with melted butter and vinegar. Very young flowerbuds have been prepared like capers and used as a spice.

 

 

The cache is a big micro camoed pill bottle. It's tied in. Rolled log with rubber band is in a small zip lock bag. BYOP. As always please keep track of everything and replace as found. The rubber band is safest if you keep it around your finger while you log.

You can either walk along the road from the P for the Ringwood ponds, or carefully park for the P&G where I've given coords. It's on a curve. There's a concrete post near where you can easily head down towards the stream.
