It was cold and wet yesterday but that didn't bother these beautiful Herb Paris (Paris quadrifolia) lurking in the shade of an East Hampshire hanger. @BSBIbotany #wildflowerhour
Lovely colour variation in the 60,000+ Green-winged Orchids, (Anacamptis morio) at Westhay Farm, Dorset 29-4-24 😀 @ukorchids
Blue, white, chartreuse yellow - colours of the ancient woodlands of John Clare Countryside in the last week of April... ...featuring Bluebell, Wood Melick, Greater Stitchwort, Beech, Wood Spurge and Ramsons. @BSBIbotany @wildflower_hour
Plants of every shade imaginable, and then a few more, including some luscious deep purple specimens - far too many to photograph but eye-catching enough to force a closer look every few strides! Early Purple Orchids @CleeveCommon #GlosOrchids @ukorchids #wildflowerhour
A few orchid pics found whilst clearing a memory card. #OrchidsOfRhodes 🇬🇷

It’s not only orchids being observed in Sicily on our tour. Here’s a special plant find of the day...The Tall Dutchman's Pipe (Aristolochia altissimo).
On the North Downs near Dover this morning ,looking at some more Early Spider Orchids ,which i haven,t visited for some years .Very tiny plants but plenty of them ......and more to come.
Wonderful display of Green-winged Orchids Anacamptis morio on Hayling Island, Hampshire today: certainly a few thousand. @ukorchids @BSBIbotany @Hants_BIC
More photos of the Ophrys hydrids from 21/4/24. I do like the term "flybrids"!
