Himalayan Balsam that grows in profusion along the banks and hedgerows around here. It might be a pest species but it does look very pretty on mass and it's also beneficial to insects and they need all the help they can get this year. |

or you get a friend to take you to see them They are even smaller than you think. I was lucky enough to be shown exactly where they grow just over a week ago. Took 100 photos while slowly sinking into the bog and was very close to ending up in it! They grow in the wettest part of the bog so take your wellies with you! | | | |
