The Camera in my pocket..!!

I love that last shot, strongy :gnthb:

 

This doesn't quite fit the title of the thread because the camera, and photo, wasn't mine - but the plant is. :hehe:

Last year a friend (photography enthusiast) came round to take photos in our garden. She has just delivered a print of one of the plants and I have taken a photo of the print so it can be shown on here. Copyright: Heather Clarke

It is of one of our bee orchids growing wild in the garden. You can see how it got its name.

 

Hi Shiney cracking photo and subject

 

Thanks for your comments. :thumb:

Strongy, they started appearing a few years ago. Apparently they will only grow where there is a particular bacterium in the soil and where no chemicals have been used. We don't use any chemicals (pesticides, herbicides, fertilisers etc ) in the garden and the orchids have been gradually spreading through the lawns. I find that I have to recognise the leaf formation very early in the year so that I don't mow them down.

We feel very lucky and honoured that they have chosen our garden. :ntwrth: :D
