@oakleyG12@ukorchids Question: how do we engage the next generation of enthusiasts, who will value and conserve our native orchids while preventing these criminals and uncaring individuals gaining site information? I havenβt found an answer to conservation conundrum.
@jelltex Hi Ian, why did you not ID this as Ophrys cornutula? I don't have O. polyxo on the list? Apologies as I am a novice with my IDs and working my way up to speed.
Early morning dew on a Bank Holiday Monday on the Purbeck Coast. Early Spiders at their peak. It was great to meet up with @julescoxphoto, it seems a long time since last orchid season...
Rhodes was an incredible orchid experience. However, my own patch of Bedfordshire ancient woodlands, woodpeckers drumming, the sweet scent of bluebells and early purple orchids - it is good to be home. @dunnjons @christofides_ @Greenwings
