Blue Lily Type:
Hello all, please find a few images of a conspicuous plant found in Maen Achwyfan, near Holywell. It was found in the middle of a field by Martyn, a volunteer at RECORD.
By chance, rather than skill, I seem to have identified this as Camassia leichtlinii a native of the North American plains, so I probably have it wrong, but it is quite distinctive.
Could I ask whether this is now establishing over here or is it just an escape ? I note from the NBN interactive map that this species is only noted in one 10km square in the UK (ST63), is this really a true representation ?
Any assistance or comment would be very welcome.
Thanks,
Eric
