There's a rather curious plant found on Asparagus Island in Cornwall. It's wild asparagus and their spikes are everywhere. This is prime wild asparagus territory. It looks very tasty but these are highly protected plants. Wild asparagus is one of the rarest plants in Britain. It grows so well here on this island because it's cut off from the mainland so it is not disturbed by man. Also the wind blows calcareous sand up and it gathers in little sandy hollows, forming the type of soil that asparagus loves.
