| | | Autumn Lady's Tresses
Bembridge Down, around 8pm, Monday... 
First it was Autumn Gentians, now Autumn Lady's Tresses: are the flowers trying to tell us something?

Nice find there Rob - I'll hopefully be seeing this tomorrow. My sign of autumn is when the Montbritia starts flowering  |

I saw some today too - yet another first for me, I'd not heard of this wildplant before finding WAB - also saw Autumn Gentians.
These were at Noar Hill, Hampshire    |

Hi Cheryl, beautiful little orchids aren't they, and not that easy to spot in my experience. Apparently they don't always spiral the same way - sometimes clockwise, sometimes anti-clockwise.
Rob
edit: I just noticed that two of your photos clearly show the different directions of spiral - cool!
