The orchids near the beach at Cleethorpes are very good again this year.
These photos taken yesterday.  If anyone could I/D please.

It is so good to see that there are still some areas of happy wildflowers like this in the UK.
I feel I've been on the visit with you, Mike!

Thanks for that Mark.  There appears to be many differing forms.

Maggie, we do seem to have quite a few good sites for orchids down in this area, they even grew very well on the site of the oil refinery where I used to work, in really awful conditions, the plants not me.

That's a relief, Mike!

I'm moving this to the Orchid section.....
