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.

Ivy Broomrape - Another Huntingdonshire Site

Barry Dickerson has just found a new location for Ivy Broomrape (Orobanche hederae) on Cambridge Street, St Neots. Based on the photo provided it seems well established. This is only the second record for the county, and it must surely be a deliberate introduction. This a species that is well known around Cambridge in VC29, but the nearest and only other VC31 record is from Godmanchester.
