Just 71 signatures to get to 5000. Please sign and share to stop this destruction of Bristol's only dor mice habitat. Change.org/saveyewtreefarm @Redrow have objected to the meadow being removed from housing allocation in the local plan. This ecoside happened, Coincidence??
A long way from flowering but a Hertfordshire Lizard Orchid is coming along nicely! #hertsorchids @ukorchids @Britainsorchids @hertsbna @HMWTBadger @HNHSOC @BSBIbotany @EuropeanOrchids @wildflower_hour @HardyOrchidSoc
And here they are 👇 the men and woman responsible for dumping 14,027,654 hours worth of sewage into the environment over the last 5 years and helping pollute every single river in the country. Ladies and gentlemen I give you the board of @Ofwat. "In the name of God, go".
Anyone who hasn’t yet got this book yet it’s available at a bargin price at the moment on the nhbs website! #highlyrecommended #britainsorchids @Britainsorchids
Bee Orchids are also doing well beside the Letchworth Lizard #hertsorchids @ukorchids @Britainsorchids @BSBIbotany @hertsbna @HNHSOC @HMWTBadger @EuropeanOrchids
Only 1 Lizard Orchid in Letchworth, Herts. The 2nd one has not reappeared after being damaged before flowering last year. Hopefully this one will be O.K. #hertsorchids @ukorchids @Britainsorchids @BSBIbotany @hertsbna @HNHSOC @HMWTBadger @EuropeanOrchids

My first orchid of the year, albeit it a rosette. The St Albans Lizard Orchid is making good progress #hertsorchids @Britainsorchids @ukorchids @HMWTBadger @hertsbna @HNHSOC @HardyOrchidSoc @BSBIbotany @wildflower_hour

Autumn Lady's-tresses (Spiranthes spiralis) in Bournemouth 22.08.23. A lovely colony that I've helped, by educating the property owners about what they have - and when not to mow! Worth the effort as you'll see...
Good evening . Today has been a satanic day on the moors . . . the inglorious 12th . It may have just cost some mainly men thousands of pounds to kill birds for fun but it’s come at terrible cost to UK wildlife and the environment . @WildJustice_org @ReviveCoalition @LeagueACS…

Lots of Early Spider orchids at Samphire Hoe this morning, including quite a bit of variation between plants. Then even more variety between plants at Marden meadow, this time with Green-winged orchids.

Out early this morning at Samphire Hoe ! (Dover ) Still plenty of Early Spiders on show .....possibly not quite as many as last year ,but some beauties amongst them ,including this one . Also seen a single Adder ,and I swear I heard a Chough call. @ukorchids @SamphireHoe1997
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.
Darenth woods, Dartford - once I got past the warning signs, burnt-out cars and discarded matresses I found a few in-bud Man orchids and 276 Early Purple orchids - and I didn't get shot!
Who’s gunna find the first one in bloom? 😍 saw these today in Buckinghamshire @ukorchids
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... 😳
Stunning Early Spider Orchid (Ophrys sphegodes) in Dorset 💚 @BSBIbotany @wildflower_hour Huge thanks to @withylake @AlastairSteven7 @duncanharris5 @StevePa46290725 🙏
This inland site in SE England threw up a single spike of Early Spider a year or two ago. Potentially naturally occurring, but human intervention, accidental or otherwise, can't be ruled out of course.

Karpathos frog from Rhodes today gave me some respite from the avalanche of orchids (38 species and counting!) seen in the last 3 days.🤯. With @Mariposa_Nature
