Re: A 2009 plant-hunter's diary

Thanks to a bit of local help from a photographer I bumped into, I was able to track down Yarrow Broomrape (Orobanche purpurea) on the cliffs at Sheringham.

Sand Catchfly (Silene conica) was a very welcome find here, too, since I'd missed this supposedly frequent plant of Breckland a week or so earlier

There were also a few good escapes here; Garden Lavender (Lavandula x intermedia), seemingly well-established (it's listed on an information board, at least... ) and Maltese-cross (Lychnis chalcedonica), competing with the long grass.
