A Good Year for Bee Orchids

Whether this is a good year all round for Bee Orchids I'm not sure but we certainly have a much better show of them than normal. We are finding them in areas we've never had them before and mowing the lawn is becoming increasingly challenging in consequence.

Most are safely within the garden but some out on the banking risk decapitation any day now when the man from the commune comes along with his machine.

We are enjoying them whilst we can and here are one or two photos...

You can certainly see where they get their name from!
