Brassica napus

I prefer the Latin name to the common English name, at least in a title of a post. In German, it’s called Raps.

I’m a fan of rapeseed

I’m not sure whether I am in favour of the proliferation of rape seed fields all over the country, some grown for being made into oil but the majority made into petrol.  I am also not in favour of the yellow muck that descends on cars and windows during its flowering time.  But I can’t help being fan of the strips of yellow in the rural landscape, of the yellow fields and of the delicate little flowers.
