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.

New for VC31 ...

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.
