First Orchid Rosette of 2024

At the bottom of the East Field where they usually come up first. There are two in fact close together. I note that my first record last year was 16 April - not sure whether I was looking earlier last year or whether the season has started earlier. If, and it's a big if this year, we get an increase on last year's orchid total then we should top 1,000 spikes for the first time.
