Yellow Bird's Nest DSC_4370

Yellow Bird's Nest / hypopitys monotropa. Stanton Sidings, Derbyshire. 12/08/17.

 

Yellow Bird's Nest is a rare, native perennial that is localised in S.E England but becomes increasingly scarce further north and west.

 

Imagine then the thrill I had when I found it growing on an old industrial brownfield site just five minutes drive from home! Since then I've retuned several times to photograph the plants and at last, this evening, I started to achieve the sort of shots I was after.
