I find nature fascinating and inspiring - there's always so much to learn!
I love photographing plants, especially orchids.
Also like butterflies, dragonflies, insects, fungi, trees, and, of course, birds 😊

Ooo - my favourite!

Not our lawn, but a lovely pair of Southern Marsh orchids growing in a rather damp lawn!

We did #NoMowMay, and will probably do #NoMowSummer. So we have plenty of Hedgerow Crane's-bill growing as #LawnFlowers for this week's #WildflowerHour challenge - they really brighten up the lawn when the Sun comes out 🙂
A fantastic orchid weekend in Kent - a bit of solo exploring on Saturday, then joined @mariposanature.bsky.social on Sunday. 14 species in total. Here's a commemorative collage for #WildflowerHour #OrchidChallenge

These are all growing in a single meadow, containing hundreds of Common Spotted, Heath Spotted and Chalk (possibly Marsh) Fragrant orchids.
I struggle with dacts, but I'm sure some could be hybrids.

A selection of local (VC29) Bee orchids for this week's #WildflowerHour - only one is "normal"!
Including f. bicolor and f. chlorantha, and possibly v. belgarum.
Not technically #ChurchyardFlowers, but some are in the grounds of a former abbey 🙂
