This is apparently part of the watercress family, Primrose told us, and I for one am not going to argue with her. Neither was Very British Tony her husband. Fine companions they were on our walks. We were near the end of our holiday now and came across loads of these in and around woods near Lake Skadar. Here’s a closer view.

We had a boat trip too, out onto the lake with the Albanian border running through the middle of this vast freshwater lake. A haven for wildlife and beautiful flowers. This is the inlet going out to the lake

and here we are out on the lake with thousands of water lilies! That’s Albania in the distance on the left.
