Latest addition:

From the North East: Thistle Broomrape, May Lily, Jacobs Ladder and Red Hemp Nettle, also saw my first Wasp Beetle!
Late end of June has been very intense, LOTS of new plants and many associated Rusts, Smuts and Mildews! Highlights in terms of plants were Starfruit, Toadflax Leaved St Johns Wort, Welsh Mudwort, Red Helleborine, Wild Candytuft, Menai, Orange and Llangollen Whitebeams and Tall Bog Sedge!
