Orchids in the garden
It is wonderful to report that 5 Orchids are currently flowering the garden, 4 Southern Marsh Orchids (funnily enough all in pots, 3 at the back 1 at the front) and 1 Spotted Orchid along the back hedge. The remnants of the Fallowfields Orchid meadow all destroyed by the building site beyond, safe for the naturally occuring ones in the garden. The bulbs of the Southern Marsh Orchids must have been in the soil and had flowered previously but Jenny using the soil for new potted plants invigoated them and the one at the front is in its tenth year of flowering!
