    Harrap mentions that plants are long lived and therefore maintaining populations - how long do these plants live for potentially? Does anybody know when the pollinating Bee was last recorded in the UK? Chris

    Was also lucky enough to see these plants in the South East a few days ago - again by some privately shared info that I really appreciated. Quite a few plants in this location - 20 to 30 maybe. I assume these are 'flavescens' as opposed to 'chlorantha'? Chris

    Having seen some nice pulchella Early Marsh last week, I wonder if the subspecies incarnata also grows in Hampshire or a neighbouring county? If so could somebody pm me as I'd like to try and see incarnata this weekend! Also does anybody know if Heath Fragrants are flowering at their New Forest...
