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



Whelk'ould do without that.

Prawn cocktails are off, dear.




Nonsense. You're just gar gar.

Did you say that on porpoise?




No. I said it to har-wrasse you!

Are you a spider crab?



Nah. I'm a crabby spider, a bit of a snapper at times. You may wish to
mullet over ;~).


Not sure he's herring you correctly!



I bet you sick squid he is :~)
