Orchid Update

It feels like there is a shortage of orchids this year but the facts don't lie. Comparing the figures for Common Spotted Orchids with last year I find that there are in fact 11% more at this stage and increases in three of the four fields. Last year ended up at 138 Orchids (mostly but not exclusively Common Spotteds) which was an increase of 12% on 2016. A similar increase would see us above 150 Orchids this year. I'd settle for that.
