Imagine finding this unusual-looking wildflower in a summer meadow... One might assume, based on its mauve colour and upright growth, that it is a native European orchid. However, the truth is far stranger and more sinister - this odd wildflower is a "vegetable vampire" sucking the vitality from nearby plants!

The Common Broomrape (Orobranche minor) is a species of parasitic plant distributed across Europe. This plant is a "holoparasite", meaning it still has the basic anatomy of a plant (leaves, stems, roots, and flowers) but it lacks the ability to do photosynthesis and thereby generate its own energy for growth and reproduction. Most members of the Orobrancheae plant family are parasites, including the famous Striga genus which is a major pest of economically important crops such as maize and sugarcane in Sub Saharan Africa.

How does the "vampire" find its victims? Broomrape seeds can remain dormant in the soil of meadows, roadsides, and other environments for many years. If a preferred host plant starts growing near the dormant seeds, the seeds sense biological chemicals released by the potential host plants' roots. The Broomrape prefers Fabaceae (Pea family) and Asteraceae (Daisy family) plants. As the parasitic plant germinate and grows, it develops specialised roots called "haustoria" that physically penetrate the hosts' roots and extract nutrients from the host. The "vampire feeding" happens underground, so the Broomrape appears to be another innocent wildflower aboveground.

If you find a Broomrape anywhere in the UK or Europe, don't feel compelled to be a "vampire hunter" and destroy it. Please leave it be! The native European Broomrape is part of the natural ecosystem and it does not harm any crops or garden plants.

This is a drawing that I did for my art and design GCSE which was a couple years ago now. The subject matter I chose was UK wildlife and the art style was based of Fabric Lenny. The bottom drawing is the old version that I created by taking a photo of the lineart and extracting it. The top drawing is the new version that I have just created today. Which one do you think is better?

Did you know the UK has only one common variety of firefly (more often called glow worms here)? If you want to try and spot some, you might be lucky just after dark on June and July evenings, in most English counties. Try gardens, hedgerows and railway embankments. They don’t flash on and off like their US cousins, though! If you see any, just look, don’t catch - they’re increasingly rare due to habitat loss and light pollution.
