Botanising in Huntingdonshire, Yorkshire and Beyond

I am the Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland (BSBI) Vice-County Recorder for Huntingdonshire (VC31) and Mid-West Yorkshire (VC64). I've set-up this botany blog to more readily share news on recent wildflower discoveries made by myself and others, to encourage wider recording, and as a way to challenge myself to take more photographs of the plants I find. See the BSBI website for more information on the work of the society and the diverse range of botany projects currently in progress.

Red-hot-poker by the Aire & Calder Navigation (VC63)

I found this surprise today growing amongst wetland vegetation at the edge of the canal in Water Haigh Woodland Park, Woodlesford. I would not normally take Greater Red-hot-poker (Kniphofia x praecox), note the longly exserted stamens, for a wetland plant but it seemed quite happy.
