Gran Canaria was super green last week after the recent storms. Plenty of orchids in flower, but tad early for the best O.canariensis blooms. Surprise find, a patch of Ophrys bombyliflora rosettes - the only Ophrys in the Canaries and probably only found on Gran Canaria ... will go back! 💜🌋🇪🇸

A drop of rain recently has brought some of the ant hills at Wylye Down NNR to life and a fresh wave of Chalk Fragrant orchids is coming through. No Frog orchids or hybrids though, yet. Also very satisfying to have got the Bastard ...Toadflax (Thesium humifusum) 😃 22-6-2025.
