Barry Dickerson has sent me details of an intriguing new record for the county. He was out looking for leaf mines when he found Grape-vine (Vitis vinifera) on the banks of the River Kim near Great Staughton. It is a large vine, so has clearly been there for a few years. But how it got there, bird or hand of man, is a mystery.
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.
