Bee Orchids - a good year!

11th June 2023 - it seems to have been a good year for Bee Orchid this year, with flowers being reported from several sites around the village. 

Emma J left some of her grass unmown this year, and was very happy to find two Bee Orchid flowering in amongst the longer grass.  And the profusion of leaf florets seen earlier in the year on GP fulfilled its promise and resulted in a fantastic display of flowering spikes, thanks to the area been roped off and not mown.
