Yellow Figwort

An early start for the second day of Ben's OU exams - we made good time by travelling through the fens and avoiding the A14. The rain was slightly less relentless than yesterday, when I stayed in the car for the whole three hours and read a book. I made the most of an almost dry hour to walk round Milton Country Park, where I found a small patch of Yellow Figwort, a species hailing from the mountains of Central and Southern Europe and the Caucasus, but now established in Britain usually in woodland clearings and in hedges. It's very local in eastern England, and this is the first I've seen for over thirty years.
