    2017 UK orchids

    Bird's-nest Orchids on the Great Orme Great to finally catch up with the Bird's-nest Orchids on the Great Orme in Llandudno a couple of weekends back - 3 spikes in the woodland near the base around Happy Valley. A good local record and an orchid that I've only ever seen once before!

    Kingbird in Florida - ID help please!

We...

    Anyone know how the orchids will go on with all this flooding in certain areas, especially places like Sandwich bay?

    2013 UK orchids

    Oh that's great! 50 spikes is good to hear, the last time I visited Jack Scout (about 3 or 4 years ago) I found just the one spike - the rest had been grazed by cattle, which was really sad. Good to know they've made a comeback! I've never explored around the Bronze Age mines on the Orme...

    2013 UK orchids

    Ahhh excellent, I just checked the wooded areas on the Ashton's side as I couldn't see any from the path on the Neumann's side. I did notice the 4 big plants right next to the water from the hide though. I've never seen the marsh helleborines there, always thought they were in the fenced off bit...

    2013 UK orchids

    Yeah I know the ones ;) I thought some might be from there as they always look a bit daintier than the Whinfell specimens.

    2013 UK orchids

    Those dark red helleborines are MASSIVE compared to the ones I saw on the orme the other week! Also great Lady's Tresses shots, are they all from Whinfell?
