In recent weeks in Llandeilo you may have seen the emergence of purple crocuses in different areas of the town . These crocuses were purchased and planted by Llandeilo Rotary in aid of a Rotary International project to eradicate polio . In the past and including this year the club have raised funds and given donations to this cause . These crocuses can be found outside the Coop , In the Plough gardens which are shortly to be landscaped , End of Talley road and other areas such as Penlan Parc . When a child receives their life-saving polio drops on mass polio immunisation days, their little finger is painted with a purple dye so it is clear they have received their polio vaccine. Hence the reason for the purple crocuses.
