Man Orchid

In learning of a small colony of Man Orchids in southern Warwickshire just 25 minutes or so from work in Banbury, I was pretty keen to take a look! So, on Wednesday 27/05 I drove over after work to take a look.

They took a bit of finding, however, I eventually found the right area, seeing 13 in total as well as numerous Common Twayblades and the odd Common Spotted Orchid starting to emerge. 























 To be honest, I'm not sure Man Orchid is the right name for them. Think they look more like little aliens!!
