I wish we did get them wild here in Lancashire. I remember the thrill of seeing my first wild ones at the splendid 'Hills and Holes' reserve at Barnack in Cambridgeshire in 2003. I've also seen other goodies there, like Man Orchid and Knapweed Broomrape.
Regards, Chris |

It was a small scrawny thing. Not as grand as I was expecting. Boo!
