It's been a good week on the orchid hunting front, with three more rarer species found, even if the first was pretty easy as it was at a reserve open day, and as a choice few forumists seem to like my reports I'll post a few more piccies.
Military orchid in Suffolk, but if you are inspired to see it for yourself you will have to wait until next year.
Lizard orchid in Suffolk, not out yet, but in best Blue Peter fashion I've added one I took earlier and
White Helleborine in Cambridgeshire, nearly all finished, many already with seed pods or just dried up, but a few lurking under the beech trees. Here's the trick, find the thickest beech leaf litter and you'll find the helleborines. These are funny flowers, most never open fully, which is why they look like there are still in bud.
