Local Orchids

After the morning’s torrential downpour, I spent a short while attempting to see what Orchids I could find around Foxton. I first tried Thriplow Meadow and found over a hundred spikes of Southern Marsh Orchid and a single Common Spotted Orchid.

I then tried Shepreth L-moor and was amazed to find well over a thousand spikes of Common Twayblade as well as three Common Spotted Orchids. Common Spotted Orchid
