Seeds of a rare UK wildflower have been planted out in Yorkshire after being collected from a “small but significant” cluster clinging to a cliff edge.

Spiked speedwell, a small, purple wildflower, was collected from the promontory, situated high up on the Ingleborough massif, as part of the Wild Ingleborough programme.

The programme has since successfully grown and planted out 75 wild spiked speedwell plants, nurtured from the seeds, in a bid to save the wildflower.
