Heath-spotted Orchids (Dactylorhiza maculata) well into flower today on the Lizard, Cornwall @ukorchids.bsky.social
Oh yeah I forgot about HB HM .. that makes it six spp. ! ;) I’ve seen Scarce MDj in the NF .. but I would not expect it on the garden list in these parts?
I read that as snake killer! And Wow! Then re-read and still Wow! 🤩
I’ve still only had a single HBHM this year despite the Red Valerian?
I’ve had five spp. of Hawk-moth so far this year, but not in any numbers - and I’m not jealous of your Scarce MDj at all ;) SE Hants neighbour!
