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 :~).

You cod always take an aspirin!



I'd rather keep the hake.

That's just a red herring.

Is that your sole contribution?! (OkayI gve up now!)



I'm glad Sacha is giving up, it seems as if she's lobster way in this
thread.


You can perch on your high horse!


If he can roach that high
