    2017 UK orchids

    Hi Doctor The Gait Barrows plants are in fine form at present, but most plants only have one flower on them because they are quite young still. There are a few yet to flower, but I would still go this weekend rather than next.

    Marsh Orchid, UK.

    I'd agree with leptochila, if it is southern England, as far north as Yorkshire, it is a clear cut Southern Marsh

    Hi Simon We wouldn't normally post such detailed locations on a public group. More general is best. FYI everyone else, I am not opening up the site disclosure discussion, please let's not start that one.

    2016 UK Orchids

    Finally got round to editing my photo's of the Warwickshire Helleborines, taken on 12th July. Went back this Tuesday and the heat has ruined most of the flowers on the plants that haven't been nibbled off. Most or al of the plants at the site are cross-pollinated, but they do look a lot like...

    Well said John. Not sure which of the hillsides you went to but the main one had a plant right by the footpath a few days ago, and about 20 plants total.
