A single plant generally has two or three long, keeled leaves about the same length as the scape or sometimes a little longer.
Scape is up to 15 cm long, usually nodding toward the tip.
The flowers, which appear in spring before the leaves, are borne in racemes on a leafless stem (scape) up to 60 cm long.
Leaves are channeled, up to 15 mm across, shorter than the scape.
The plants have 8 to 32 flowers that rise from a scape.
In land use terms, there are three "scapes"—townscape, farmscape and wildscape.
Between those "scapes" are the fringes—"rurban" fringe and marginal fringe.
It is unfair to let it develop as it has done and to make a scape-goat of one particular firm.
