The pure white Southern marsh orchids in Partridge slack have succumbed to the grazers, but some fine very pale SMOs have yet to be eaten elsewhere at Braunton Burrows. 3/6/2026 @lizlouise.bsky.social @ukorchids.bsky.social @rogercharding.bsky.social @orchidvinny.bsky.social
Beautiful Early marsh orchids (var coccinea) alongside even more beautiful rose coloured hybrids with common spotted orchids (D. x kerneriorum) and a splendid D. x grandis. Braunton Burrows, 3/6/2026 😃 @lizlouise.bsky.social @ukorchids.bsky.social @orchidvinny.bsky.social @rogercharding.bsky.social
