A few odds and ends in a post I never got round to finishing last year. Starting with these two unexpected finds by the stables at Royds Green (VC63) - Marrow (Cucurbita pepo) and Pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima).
On an uncultivated arable field at Aberford (VC64) Niger (Guizotia abyssinica). Also found by Mike Wilcox on river shingle at Apperley Bridge (VC64).
Also at Aberford, it was great to refind Wild Liquorice (Astragalus glycyphyllos). This is another rarity of the magnesian limestone that has not been reported for many years. Just a shame I missed it in flower.
Bringing some 'autumn joy' to the local bee population - Hylotelephium (Sedum) 'Herbstfreude' at Rothwell (VC63).
