Ahem. My teeth remain firmly at a medium length, thank you very much. Unfortunately, I don't know a squill from a spurge, even when the wind
is southerly.
Telling a squill from a spurge is like telling a daisy from a daffodil.
I'm a decent field botanist, at least for my local patch, but I'd be
well out of my depth on that job.
