Wildflowers, Garden

Bee Orchid (Ophrys apifera)




Common Broomrape
(Orobanche minor)

Despite a promising start to the Orchid season, with up to seven Bee Orchid rosettes noted in the lawn, only two came into flower.

More productively - last years pair of Common Broomrape, turned into five flowering spikes this year, although they came and went within the blink of an eye!
