Green-winged Orchids

 

This years wet weather has certainly benefited the orchids. Lush growth and this site is literally covered in orchids.  Absolutely beautiful, a stunning carpet of purple. A few different colour variations aswell from every shade of purple through to light pink and even white.  

Green-winged Orchids and Bugle

A few weeks ago this field was under water after the constant heavy rains and we had totally written it off for any orchids this year....how wrong we were. After a few days sun and rising temperatures, the field had totally dried out and was covered in orchid spikes. We are so lucky to have this field so close to home and hope the farmer keeps it exactly as it is forever !
