More photos of the Ophrys hydrids from 21/4/24. I do like the term "flybrids"!
23/4/24 Dorset Didn’t Disappoint, Dorchester, Dancing Ledge, Durlston @ukorchids Woodcock x Fly hybrid, Early Spider, Green-winged & Early Purple Orchids. Tx to those who have me info & advice, including @DurlstonCP
Spiranthes australis (Austral Ladies Tresses) near Monga, NSW. A very widespread orchid in eastern AUS - generally a late-summer flowering species at this location but some plants can still be seen into early autumn most seasons #orchids #ozplants #inthefield
They're up, and they're early. In truly miserable weather late afternoon, Viola odorata f. sulfurea on a Winchester verge. Poor photos taken on phone: more and better will come. @BSBIbotany

My second new plant today: Giant Orchid Himantoglossum robertianum in Oxfordshire. I don't care about provenance - just grateful for a chance to see and study this lovely species, especially as I'll miss its Canarian relative on an upcoming trip! @BSBIbotany @ukorchids
Green Hellebore Helleborus viridis in all its pomp today on a quiet lane not far from Emsworth, Hampshire but just into West Sussex. Short detour on my way home. @BSBIbotany @Sussex_Botany
We've seen the world's largest flowers on this expedition into the Sumatran rainforest. Now for the strangest: a very rare flower called Rhizanthes deceptor, seen by few, and found only in this wilderness. Here they call it a star, and it lit up our day.
Not even two months into 2024, & Wirral Council has now finalised its decision to partially destroy Hoylake’s foreshore and destablilise the redevelopment of dunes which lie within a SSSI, SAC, SPA and Ramsar (hatched dark green). An utterly devastating blow to nature.

Ophrys ferrum-equinum phone pic. I use the phone a fair bit these days for plant pics. Ok, I still prefer the SLR overall but the phone can produce a fairly decent image in my opinion.
Rhodes Fritillary (Fritillaria rhodia) from a few angles & positions - including from ground level looking up to the sky.
Crocus rhodensis Endemic to Rhodes & possibly nearby Symi. 🇬🇷
Perhaps the greenest parrot waxcap i have ever seen...Salwarpe church, Worcestershire..@BritMycolSoc @BritishFungi #fungi.
