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.

Spatterdock in Oulton (VC63)

One of my regular local walks takes me past Oulton Hall ponds and its thriving population of the North American water-lily Spatterdock (Nuphar advena). So I thought it about time I shared some photos. Its related to our native Yellow Water-lily (Nuphar lutea) but some of the leaves are held above the water's surface and are more pointed.

Another post on water-lilies to follow soon.
