[edit] Celandine image on Wordsworth's grave
It would be useful to have sight of the source of the statement made. None of the images retrieved by Google show anything other than simple text on the grave-stone in Grassmere churchyard. The memorial inside the church appears to have some decoration but nothing resembling a celandine. Unless this statement is verfied, I propose that it is deleted. Velela 16:21, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Hi,
My source for this information was Flora Britannica by Richard Mabey (p 49). The book refers to his "monument at Grasmere" and also his "tomb in the Lakes". Turns out that the image is not on his tombstone in the graveyard but on a memorial plaque inside the church of St. Oswald in Grasmere. Here's a picture of it:

There's a daffodil on the left and, sure enough, a greater celandine on the right.
Will update the article. Thanks for pointing this out.
