At last the Spotted Orchids are out. The orchid bays along the side of the Slurry Lagoon facing the Severn/Trent land are providing good displays. The Bee Orchids are also looking good now, especially along the Deep Pit banks. PS.

Spotted Orchids – 9th June
The Spotted Orchids are showing well now and are flowering all over the site. The dry spring may well have affected them as the flower spikes are a little smaller than usual. The Marsh Orchids are beginning to go over now but the Spotted/Marsh hybrids are looking very strong. Unfortunately the Bee Orchids have crashed this year and I have only managed to find about nine plants so far. The Pyramidal Orchids are also down on previous years. PS.
