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.

Carthusian Pink Still Going Strong in VC31
Carthusian Pink (Dianthus carthusianorum) has been known for nearly 15 years at Crown Lakes Country Park, Farcet. It was originally introduced here with wildflower seed sown during establishment of the Country Park in 1997 on land associated with a former brick works. Barry Dickerson recently refound this species at its only site in the county, and sent some photos.
