Great find Rog.
Dorts. | There were still plenty of buds to come out on the half-dozen plants in flower, and about another half-dozen plants still in bud.
The Pyramidals at this site were also coming out, but the Southern Marsh are all but finished. No Bees

Yesterday at Ruislip Woods some wonderful displays of Foxgloves + Red Campion with a few Great Mulleins in some recently coppiced glades.
Also lots of Common Cow-wheat (not a common London plant) with a fair bit of Slender St.John's Wort (1 of 3 species of Hypericum today). |

Quite a few yesterday on a Bedfordshire reserve. Here are two highlights, Pyramidal orchid and yellow wort.

Water-violet Hottonia palustris in a ditch near Ellesmere Port. A new plant for me. |

Each year in the peat-bog below the house we have a dozen or so Heath Spotted Orchids. This year 66!   
Also some nice Bog Asphodel making a first appearance.

I checked up on my local patch of frog orchids yesterday, looking very handsome in the evening light!
