The marquee poles were still leaning against the churchyard wall when Dilys found the seed packet tucked behind the vicar's hymn board, the paper gone soft as a handkerchief. Nobody in Llanwrth had planted anything wild since her grandfather's day, not since the council began spraying the verges and the allotment men started wearing gloves to pull up dock. She turned the packet over in her palm. Someone had drawn a leaf on it in biro, five fingers spread, the stem running down to a point like a pen nib.

Her cousin Gareth had brought the rumour up from Carmarthen with the wedding flowers. The bride's father, he said, had grown a row of something behind his greenhouse for thirty years and never once been caught, because he grew it the way other men knit, quietly, in the dark between the beans and the leeks. The wedding was on Saturday. The bride wanted peonies. Dilys wanted to know who had left the packet, and why it had been pushed behind the board at the exact spot where the banns were pinned.

She took the packet to the greenhouse at dusk. The glass was fogged and the air smelt sharp and green, like crushed stalks after rain. Half a dozen plants stood in a row under the lamp, their leaves spread wide, each one outlined in a fine dotted line of shadow, as though someone had gone over the veins with a needle. At the end of the bench lay a folded note in the same biro. Keep one for the girl who asks, it said. Plant the rest on the day.
