Broomrape
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? -- Spider from high ground in SE London gardening on clay |

Try Googling for Orobanche hederae. Interesting detail at http://www.brc.ac.uk/plantatlas/inde...banche-hederae Chiltern sell seeds, apparently. Thank you, Chris. That's really interesting. I could find hardly anything about it in any of my books. I should have tried Google, but by the time I'd got thro' all my wild flower books, it was too late. It's a fascinating plant. Thanks for the link. -- Spider from high ground in SE London gardening on clay |

Once you become aware of it - ie Broomrape in general - you see it much more often! Common Broomrape is quite common really, and I usually spot it a couple of times a year just while out on a walk. It's even come up once or twice in a flowerbed in my garden, though I'm not sure quite what it was parasitising there. It's frequently mistaken for an orchid, as also is common toothwort. It seems it just has very long-lived seeds which sit there in the soil waiting for the right conditions. Thanks, Echinosum. A friend has already told me she's seen something similar in our local wood. I must go and take a look at that. You're right, it does look a bit like an orchid. I confess when I first saw it with the flowers barely open, it looked like a purple asparagus spear! However, I don't think I'll try eating it!! They're really interesting plants. I've even discovered that seeds are available to buy. Must investigate that further. Thanks. -- Spider from high ground in SE London gardening on clay |
