Interesting parasitic plant appears in shrub bed
While tidying the shrub beds we noticed this https://www.flickr.com/photos/124571319@N07/ It was identified by Devon Wildlife Trust as Lesser/Common broomrape, Orobanche minor. This quite strange plant has no obvious leaves and is parasitic and hosted by Senecio greyii, a fairly common cultivated shrub in this part of the world. The image shows the flower stalks growing up through the chipped bark, immediatly adjacent to a Senecio greyii. Further information at http://sppaccounts.bsbi.org.uk/content/orobanche-minor -- rbel |
