Had a week away in Suffolk last week and saw one or two local specialities, though regrettably not Fen Orchid whose habitat was fenced off to avoid inadvertant damage. Saw the Early Marsh Orchid ssp ochroleuca growing at its only known UK site at a valley fen in Suffolk:  EMO v.ochroleuca Plant 01 by Wabi Gallery, on Flickr  EMO v.ochroleuca Spike 01 by Wabi Gallery, on Flickr Jeff Hodgson |

Also Military Orchid at the Rex Graham Reserve. The compound was locked but there is a chalk scrape immediately next to the compound, fenced off but the gate is left unlocked. There are around 70 plants growing there along with a few Twayblade and a single Southern Marsh Orchid, no doubt introduced inadvertently on the clothing of a passing Orchidophile.

Lovely photos Jeff. Only orchids here at the moment are very small(height) Heath Spotted.

Thank you Helen, for some reason I didn’t post the close-up of the O militaris floret, so here it is

Sorry, can’t, I am getting a message saying ‘This forum has exceeded it’s upload limit'
I don’t want my own Flickr account, can I upload to the WABI Flickr account?

I'll need to move a few over to Flickr tomorrow, and that should clear up some space... give me until after lunchtime on Monday and then try again. Sorry! I've fallen behind again.

that's ok- managed to move over 20 this morning, so that should free up a bit of space.  You've taken some lovely photos of orchids! I especially like that one of the florets- such a lovely colour. |
