Red Bartsia - also spreading

Definitely one of my favourites - this late-flowering semi-parasitic flower is sometimes hard to spot amongst the grass. However close examination showed that it was spreading like the other flowers that for once get a chance to set seed. It has increased around the original couple of plants but also sent a few outliers about fifteen feet in several directions. I have cut most of the fields but shall leave this patch uncut for a couple of weeks yet.
