Received some excellent news about the possible Dark Mullein – Verbascum nigrum at Low Moor Banks from Joan Dobson ( Botanist) of BEES.
She has confirmed that the plant is indeed a Dark Mullein and stated ‘ What a record for the site!). It also bring the total of species identified at LMB to 150….
I also had some good news on the moth front with a second known record for our area of a Coxcomb Prominent – Ptilodon capucina
