Bit of a coincidence that, Steve because I found Orobanche minor growing near the Manchester/Stockport border this year - the first one I've ever seen in this area. The find which delighted me the most, though, was Saxifraga granulata (Meadow Saxifrage) growing on the banks of the Mersey at West Didsbury. I believe this to be the first record, from this area, since 1859!

We haven't got Autumn Ladies' Tresses though (but you never know!).

I bet that Bude is a botanist's paradise!
