Orchid number 60
As of today we have 60 orchids on site - which is a big improvement on the 11 we had in 2012. Up until now the orchids have all been Common Spotted Orchids but the latest one is a new species - a Broad-leaved Helleborine (Epipactis helleborine). It is more of a woodland flower and it is fittingly under the largest tree on site - one of the beeches that gives this place its name. I normally only post photos of plants actually in flower but I make an exception for this new orchid.
