Yesterday, I noticed a single stem of Ivy Broomrape growing in my
mainly
Pyracantha hedge where a pretty ivy grows through. Although I've
seen
images in books, I'd never seen a living one before. I believe it's
parasitic on ivy, but don't know how it gets there. Is it in some
way
endemic? Or is seed distributed by birds?

Thanks for that, Martin. Another useful link. I'll have a good read
tomorrow. Spent the day in the garden today and pulled a muscle
helfting something, so just catching up here now.
Thanks again.

Take it easy. Get well soon.

Isn't that what the sexy oyster did - pulled a mussel?



Grooaaann! I shan't get a winkle of sleep now, after that :~).

I'll clam up, then




Now don't get crabby.

More internet prawn

We don't shrimp on it.
