Bee Orchids in Leicester...

Checked out one of my regular spots for Bee Orchids a couple of days ago and I found at least 22 spikes in the surrounding grassland. This is the most I've ever seen at this site!

All this rain seems to have benefitted something at least. Is it me or are the Bee Orchids looking a deeper purple this year?

Hi Carl, I think it's more to do with the weather conditions!
At some sites it seems to be a good year for Bee Orchids but others in the east and north-east of the county it's been a pretty average year.
