Hi Guys
I'm a complete newcomer to this site - so please be gentle......
While my main interest is butterflies I have become increasingly aware of and therefore interested in photographing orchids on my hunting trips. (I have just seven uk butterflies left to see and take pics of). While orchids at least stand still for you they are much harder to locate. With some assistance from NNT I saw the Fen Orchid this last June.
Question..
Is there a specific site that details where different orchids my be located?
Grateful for any assistance with this. |

Orchids of Britain and Ireland, A Field and Site Guide.
by Anne and Simon Harrap. ISBN 0-7136-6956-X.
It's around £30, but well worth the price.
The ISBN number is from my copy, which is a 1st edition. I understand that there is a 2nd edition out. I don't know wether it has the same ISBN number.
BTW, I've yet to see a fen orchid - perhaps next year!
