Hi All

For those of you who did the walk at Campbell park this morning, you may remember someone (Jack?) holding up a pale peach/purple flower and asking what species it was.  I believe no one at that time new the answer, but I have since found it in a book.  It is a LESSER BROOMRAPE, Orobanche Minor.  A quick Google search will come up with some pictures of it.

Regards, Matt.
