| | | Musk orchid visit
I'm planning a visit to see Musk orchid this year and I'm wondering when's best to go. Originally, I had planned for the weekend 4/5th July but having seen a photo of one out now, I think this might be too late for the best flowers. However, my orchid book says that they flower until early august. Anyone seen any so far this year/ could give me an idea of when is best to go? 
Thanks
PS i'm hoping to see frog orchid and dragons-teeth at the same place although the musk orchid is primarily more important  (isn't it KT?  )

It flowers from mid-June to early-August so early July should be ideal; Would it be Gloucestershire you're visiting? (no precise details please). |
