Dodder
Common dodder is quite rare (despite the name) but easy to spot. It’s characterised by its parasitic vine of reddish threads that grow over other plants for sustenance.
Orchids
All kinds of orchids thrive in the thin, chalky soil of calcareous downlands. Most commonly, you will see the common spotted, fragrant, and pyramidal orchids. Rarer are the musk, bee, man, autumn lady’s tresses, burnt, and early spider orchids.
