You can just spot a Twayblade here at Sheepleas, Surrey but the area is so overgrown compared to a year or so ago. No sign of the other orchids in this spot. #orchidchallenge #wildflowers #conservation #nature #orchids

Love a Bee orchid! #orchids #wildflowers #conservation #meadows

Plenty of Pyramidal orchids on the verges in Dorset this week. Don’t seem too impacted by lack of earlier rain. #orchids #wildflowers #NoMowMay #LetItBloomJune
