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!
