@ukorchids @BSBIbotany @wildflower_hour I think you have details of the Huntingdonshire individual? If you need more info please let me know.

@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 haven’t found an answer to conservation conundrum.

@dunnjons So sorry to hear this.

[simon morley @drfishySimon]

@jelltex @dunnjons Awesome, thanks so much for sharing. This will really help.

[simon morley @drfishySimon]

@jelltex @dunnjons Many thanks Ian. I will look and update my IDs. It is definitely a challenge!

[simon morley @drfishySimon]

@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.

Cricklade Meadow was stunning, with a swathe of purple snake's head fritillarys gleaming in the sun. As always I get drawn in by the detail.

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...

In my wildflower garden (14/04/22)!

Monkey orchid (Orchis simia) with at least 2 more on their way.

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

[simon morley @drfishySimon]

@julescoxphoto @dunnjons @christofides_ @Greenwings Can’t wait to catch up over some UK orchids. See you soon.
