Thanks Matt, but I can’t take the credit for finding the flower I’m
afraid.
Glad you came and hoped you enjoyed it, it was nice to put a face to your
postings on the chat line.
And lovely to see such young enthusiasm, and many thanks to your dad for
encouraging it!
Regards
Jack Holland

Subject: [canberrabirds] Flower species identified - nest walk at
Campbell park
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.
