Grass-of-Parnassus, which grows on marshy land, has been wiped out elsewhere in the UK.
By Angela JohnstonA flower with an exotic but misleading name, which was once declining, is now blooming across Cumbria with pockets spotted across the fells.
This time of year is the best time to spot the wetland plant, also known as Parnassia palustris or by the less glamorous name of Bog-star.Kevin Scott, Northern Reserves officer at Cumbria Wildlife Trust, said it was flowering at Eycott Hill near Penrith among the nature reserves' series of swamps and mires.
Mr Hooson added: "It's a northern species which might have been more widespread across the country, but intensive farming in the south has seen it wiped out. But here in Cumbria, farming is not so intensive and it can be found in almost every valley of the Lake District.
