Hi All 👋 My entry for Cee’s FOTD.


Hi All 👋 My entry for Cee’s FOTD.
This is a bit different from my normal two pic post. On Sunday, I got a couple of flowering Cacti that featured in my weekly Fan Of… post. On one of the cacti, there was a huge flower bud at the top.
Hi All 👋 and welcome to December’s project: Things in Scots. This month I am collaborating with my Cee’s Flower of the Day and keeping my series of frosty posts going.
Rimie jennie nettle (frosty stinging nettle); also known as a jaggie nettle or jobbie nettle.
All the Scots words for these posts are taken from The Concise English-Scots Dictionary, by the Scottish National Dictionary Association. The words chosen will be the generally accepted term, but as in all languages there are regional variations, as well as sub-species variations. For example, an owl is generally known as a hoolet in Scots, but an ool in Shetland & the NE. A barn owl is a white hoolet & a long eared owl, a hornnie hoolet.
As we do these posts, we’re learning as well; so we apologise in advance for any mistakes?
If any of you out there have a burning desire to know the Scots word for anything, please let us know!
Hae a guid day
