Fantastic place and beautiful wild orchids there! Nice to know their names. Great to see from your walk. Beautiful video!
Those Frog hybrids are absolutely beautiful.
They are!
got a few fly orchids if you look in the right place to
Its a much bigger site than I realised when I visited last year. Even with detailed instructions, it took me 40 minutes to find the hybrids ! Not surprised it has Fly Orchids, it looks right for them !
Superb video. Interesting that all the orchids you've filmed this year seem to be growing in close association with the semi-parasitic Yellow Rattle... coincidence?
No idea - that one is well above my head !
@@OrchidHunter My thought was the Rattle is keeping the grass short, allowing more light to the orchids, but that's just a guess!
