Dark Flowered Bee Orchid
Posted: Tue Jun 07, 2011 7:30 pm
We found some Bee Orchids that are much darker than usual. How common is this? They were growing along a hedge near Hapsford in a place where they were not growing during the previous two years. They presumably spread from an established colony in a wood not far away, but those are all pale.
