My annual pilgrimage to Scotney Castle to see the Green winged orchids, best I've ever seen them hundreds this year @ukorchids @EuropeanOrchids @wildflower_hour @scotneycastleNT
Good morning! Can one ever have too many Lady Orchids, we wonder? We think not! It's been a joy for our guests on our recent Spring Butterflies of Central & North Spain tour to regularly encounter these lovely flowers growing on roadside verges, and in field & woodland margins
Woodland Early Purple Orchids (Orchis Mascula), including an epiphytic one. Glamorgan (28/04/2024)
Some fabulous orchids today Naked Man orchid, orchis Langei and Ophrys Ficalhoana were new ones for me. The pink butterfly orchids were stunning and the rare hypochromic mirror orchid was a surprise. It’s going to be hard to pick a favourite @lojawildlife @EuropeanOrchids 🇪🇸
So may not be the first Fly Orchids in the country , But conceivably Gloucestershire this am , two spikes flowering six more on the way , Stroud Valleys @ukorchids @EuropeanOrchids @wildflower_hour @FloraConsUK

Checking back on the Early Purple #orchids at High Oaks nr .Rugby. 2 of the 3 flowering nicely. Protective cages replaced after pics. @wildflower_hour @ukorchids @orchidsorknot @Britainsorchids @EuropeanOrchids
Some nice and fresh Helen’s bee orchids (#Ophrys #helenae sensu Flora of Greece) found earlier this month at my old PhD sampling site, at the foothills of the ‘Mountain of Gods’, Mt. #Olympus 🇬🇷 Oh this majestic red-coloured labellum ❤️ #MeetTheOrchids 😎✌️
Early Spider Phwoarchid! First reported last year by Rogier van Vugt, this wildly aberrant Early Spider Orchid is flowering again this year in Kent. A highlight this afternoon, with five further orchid species also seen in flower nearby in a brief window of free time.
I've always wanted to see a truly hypochromic Serapias tongue orchid - an extreme one - but until today had only ever looked longingly at photos of these great rarities in books. That changed this afternoon when my @Mariposa_Nature co-leader Andreas Corso found this beauty... 😳
News from the field: the #orchid season is rattling along here in southern Italy in the wake of a hot, dry spring. Ophrys calliantha is well under way, while Ophrys biancae has almost finished flowering. The timing of our Orchids of Sicily tour has been spot on to catch them all.
Three faces of Dactylorhiza romana on the flanks of Mt. Etna, Sicily, yesterday during the tour I'm co-leading here with Sicilian legend Andrea Corso for @Mariposa_Nature. Can't decide which I prefer - pale yellow, purple, or the intermediate flavour.
Overcast skies and heavy showers could not dampen my joy at seeing my first #orchids of the year today! In North Wales, the gorgeous Green-winged Orchids, Anacamptis morio are just starting to open! 😍

Our Orchids of Sicily tour is off to a flying start today, with immaculate Orchis brancifortii & Ophrys grassoana within minutes of our Etna hotel. With Sicilian native naturalist Andrea Corso co-leading with @dunnjons, we're getting an unrivalled Sicilian experience already. 😊
