North-west Norfolk (King's Lynn area): 19th - 23rd June
Leaving the Broads behind, we'd be based in the village/town of Terrington St Clement for the next few days, a few miles west of King's Lynn. The drive across-county added
Trailing Snapdragon (
Asarina procumbens) &
Pale Corydalis (
Pseudofumaria alba) at a well-known site in the village of Cawston (it's in the Flora of Norfolk book, anyway...
), and the complete surprise find of a beautiful
Martagon Lily (
Lilium martagon) by the side of a road
(
Trailing Snapdragon, Asarina procumbens)

Martagon Lily, Lilium martagon)
At first sight the area immediately around Terrington didn't seem promising; the vast, hedgeless, flat fields looked to have less life than the surface of the moon
A few good "escapes" did turn up, though;
Californian Honeysuckle (
Lonicera involucrata),
Alternate-leaved Butterfly-bush (
Buddleja alterniifolia) and (with thanks to aeshna for the ID...
)
Chilean Potato-vine (
Solanum crispum)
