Re: A 2009 plant-hunter's diary

Horsey Mere added this Deadly Nightshade (Atropa belladonna) bush, on a bank by the car park...

and Cowbane (Cicuta virosa) was in full flower at the RSPB's Strumpshaw Fen reserve

A couple of plants of Phacelia (Phacelia tanacetifolia), the first I'd ever seen, added a splash of blue to a poppy-filled field at Hickling...

and finally, a couple of roadside finds; a large stretch of Dwarf Elder (Sambucus ebulus), and a couple of enormous plants of Globe Artichoke (Cynara cardunculus)
