It was great to find Greater Musk-mallow (Malva alcea) again yesterday, still clinging on in the road verge at Newton (VC64) where I first found it in 2013. This relatively uncommon garden escape looks like it still has another month's worth of flowers yet to come. A welcome sight at a time of year when many other species have gone over.
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.
