Winks Meadow wonders!

An incredible mid evening visit to Wink's meadow on Friday 19 May, where as the sun was shining and soon unfortunaely setting and the Yellowhammer was singing, I parked up as usual at Christmas Lane and walked to this wondrous meadow and what a sight over a thousand Green- winged Orchids all out in blue providing a spangly purple carpet interspersed by the occasional yellow Cowslip, very much in the minority being completely outnumbered by the Orchids and other flowers. Being so plentiful the wondrous colour variations ranged from deep wine red (around 3 plants to pure white also around 3 plants with around 15 or so being pinky- white in colouration. I wish I had been able to bring my dear late mother to see such a sight, something she witnessed in her child hood days when wildflower meadows were so extensive.
