Winter heliotrope

 


Winter heliotrope growing alongside a lane at Boughton Monchelsea today.  It is actually native to N.Africa & proceeded to colonise our countryside after it escaped from a private garden in the early 19thC. Although it's classed as an invasive species it does provide a valuable nectar source for early emerging insects.
