More orchids.

1st July 2008, Tuesday

Following the orchid postings of 20th and 22nd June there is another species now in flower in the RX area. At Rye Harbour there is a colony of Marsh Helleborines and they have just started flowering - each flower is about 15mm across and they looked good in this morning’s dew.

The site cannot take a lot of pressure, so I am not providing the usual map, but if you are at the Parkes hide at Ternery Pool at 10am on Saturday 5th July I will take an informal guided walk to them!
