Moorcroft's Description
Lesser water plantain, not recorded in Somerset since 1914, was recently spotted by the Somerset Rare Plants Group near the ancient man-made Sweet Track, on the Somerset Levels. The Sweet Track, whose location is kept secret, is an ancient timber trackway that runs between Shapwick and Westhay. In Rachel’s design, she trails lesser water plantain from the secret trackway up into a deep evening sky. Visitors to the flowers come in the form of two garden tiger moths. This night-flying moth has a chocolate-brown, furry body, brown-and white-patterned forewings, and bright red hindwings. The combination of precious flora and fauna makes for a stunning vision captured in clay.
