Day 167 - June 16th

My Mum had mentioned that she'd been told that there were some wild orchids just outside Stotfold near a motorway service area so whilst we were out today we stopped to have a look.

Lo and behold on a steep grassy bank there were hundred of tiny pink Pyramidal Orchids.

They were very short plants and probably wouldn't be noticed by many people but on close inspection they were definitely orchids.

Earlier in the day we had walked our usual walk and hoped to see the orchids we had seen last week. Unfortunately before we got there the farmer had cut the footpath and with it the orchids. 😔

One single solitary orchid remained at the side of the path.
