It's Orobanche alba. It was a few minute's walk from Prostitute Street (known to the Post Office as Corporation Road) and the smackheads' haunts. It's a good botanical area. Common spotted orchid should be there soon. I'm hoping for bee orchid, which has spread on the Wirral in recent years. | seconded, great find! |

My first Yellow Rattle of the year at Ivinghoe Beacon. I saw just one Common Spotted Orchid there, soon there'll be hundreds.
And I saw Grass Vetchling again, at the golf course at Aldbury - the first and only place I'd ever seen it until a few days ago.
Lots of Sanicle and Bugle about too. |

Lesser stitchwort on one of the less frequented grassy rides in Alice Holt Forest (The greater is almost over now)
And sticky mouse ear too on the gravel path edges

My first ever White Helleborine (at least I think that's what it is!). I'd seen the leaves before (in the same location near Dunstable) but not seen it flowering.
Saw my first poppies, foxgloves and bladder campion of the year too. | | | |
