Looks a bit like Orobanche hederae Jenny and there is a bit of Ivy growing nearby.
According to AlanS it is parasitic only on Hedera helix ssp hibernica which should suit you nicely!

Hi Peter - and thanks for the link to AlanS's site....
I keep thinking Ivy Broomrape for this one, but the person whose photo it is was insistent its Orobanche minor var. maritima |

Could be Jenny - Orobanche is a hard genus.
The stigma is yellow/orange in O hederae and according to Stace O. minor var maritima parisitises Daucus carota, Plantago coronopus, or Ononis repens and is typically found on the coasts of Southern England and the Channel Islands.
Also it is usually much paler - there's a photo of what I think was O. minor var maritima on my website and it's almost white.
The stripey veins on yours are more typical of O. hederae which is quite common in southern Ireland. |
