Thanks for the confirmation Johnny and Dorts I was wondering are all the orchids found in the UK in flower at the moment or will do some flower later in the summer ? |

They're fab aren't they? I stumbled across a colony of at least 60 unexpected (and possibly unrecorded) bee orchids yesterday on a wander. Happiness!
Aren't bumble bees ambles called 'bombles'? |

First to flower are Early Purples and Green-winged orchids, followed closely by Early Spider orchids in April/early May.
The majority of species are now in flower but there are still many to come, such as the Epipactis group, (Heleborines). Musk and Frog have yet to peak. And last of all in September is the lovely little Autumn Lady's Tresses.
So still plenty to look forward to.
