A great eight hours searching Haugh woods today, no Ghost orchid but still certainly wasn't expecting, still found some top notch new spots I have confidence in so a return visit in late August and September 😊 🐾 🐾
Autumn Lady's-tresses in my mum's lawn again this year, 18 spikes #Paignton @ukorchids @ghostorchiduk
Inspired by @botany_beck & with info from @martinsbutterf1 I dived into undergrowth at Hutchinson's Bank and found about 50 spikes of Broad-leaved Helleborine. Was looking forward to nonchalantly re-emerging saying "Hello, I am a botanist" à la @Haggewoods, but no-one was around.

Irish Lady's tresses orchids looking splendid in an old Irish #wildflower #meadow #wildflowerhour @ukorchids
Barra's rarest and latest-flowering orchid, the Irish Lady's Tresses, is now in bloom. I followed a hunch and searched an area of likely looking habitat near Brevig where they've not previously been recorded and found this one! @ukorchids
This happened, deep in an adjacent woodland which we received permission to enter, this was spotted by Mrs. Eagle Eyes @ukorchids @Britainsorchids @IUCN_Orchids @ghostorchiduk @BSBIbotany @sdnpa @wildflower_hour @WildFlowerSoc @thenewgalaxy @avonorchids @Leptochila @dunnjons
Throw back to this rather large Lizard Orchid I made last year! It was quite a fiddly project but a lot of fun to figure out! I've started working on some templates for other orchids, including some rarer species...... #orchid #paper #wildflower #sciart
The newly published Wild Orchids of Kent arrived today so it looks like I've got some more reading to do! 😁
Nice to find a pure white (unpigmented) Marsh Fragrant Orchid, G. densiflora, at Eryrys today. Harrop reserves Var. albiflora for G. conopsea, so this does not seem to have a scientific name ... yet.
Kenfig 10th July; Marsh Fragrant, Marsh Helleborine, Fen orchid still surviving and a hybrid, presumed Early Marsh x Southern Marsh

Orchid heaven at Cors Erddreiniog, Ynys Mon today with @SanSior - Frog, Fragrant, Lesser Butterfly Orchids were the highlight along with hundreds of Marsh Helleborine, Heath, Southern Marsh and Common Spotted Orchids. @DylanMEdwards1 @ghostorchiduk @ukorchids
Spend the evening wandering Cors Erddreiniog on Ynys Mon. What a superb reserve. Thanks to @DylanMEdwards1 I managed several Fly Orchids, Lesser Butterfly Orchids and Marsh Helleborines. Amazing Heath and Spotted Orchid meadows! A special place. #30DaysWild

Orchid alert! I found a slender bog orchid, Platanthera stricta, at Vinegar Hill, NE Oregon. It looks like it has a little face to me.🙄 It is a common native to western North America from Alaska to northern California. #wildflowers #naturephotography
It seemed like every orchid at @abbeyleixbog had a Crab Spider lurking on it, and many had successfully caught prey, mostly bees:
