Hi Paul. Many thanks for the very enjoyable videos that you regularly post. Regarding Bee Orchids, at one site in Kent, I managed to fall over and land next to a patch of var. Flavescens a couple of years back. Never seen any before or since, but hope to go back to the site next year. Also, last weekend, at a site in Gloucestershire, came across one individual plant with very unusual markings and not sure where it fits in. Would really welcome your thoughts. Not on Facebook or X, so is there any way I can contact you / send you some photos?

I would be interested if ever you find those var. Flavescens again ! You can email me any photos via orchidhunter AT peterboroughimages DOT co DOT uk !

Hi Paul. Thanks very much for the reply. I have tried sending you the photos a couple of times, but get an undeliverable as domain name not found. Any ideas? Cannot see a typo.
