I noticed that there are Fringecups (Tellima grandiflora) growing all along the river bank of the Calder from Tenterfields to Copley.
They seem to always grow with the similar Pick-a-back-plant (Tolmiea menziesii)
I also spotted a rare plant, probably also a garden escape, Perfoliate Alexanders (Smyrnium perfoliatum) which I have now seen at three spots along this stretch of the Calder.
Very interesting that the Tolmiea and the Tellima grow together Steve. They both seem to be spreading.
ReplyDeleteI first saw the Pick-a-back plant, Tolmiea, beside a small side-stream in Hardcastle Crags about 20 years ago.
The Smyrnium is new to me.
