 In this blog I am covering 3 themes:

1 Species accounts of the wild orchids found in Britain and Ireland, with my photographs, comments and notes.   So far I have done 7, so rather a lot still to do! The latest is Platanthera chlorantha (Greater butterfly orchid) Click here

2 Some personal orchid studies, a few published, but others not.
