First orchid rosettes

The first four were recorded on 12th April which is 10 days later than the first rosettes last year. Last year was very odd with loads of orchids coming up early (76 by the 15th April vs 10 this year) but when we returned from holiday on the 8th May there was a steep drop off resulting in a big decrease from the previous year. It will be interesting to see the numbers for this year.
