Orchids on the river banks
Tuesday, June 30, 2009 at 10:54AM Reports have been coming in from our Wildflower Survey team and river patrol volunteers of Common Spotted Orchids (Dactylorhiza fuchsii) flowering along the river banks. These beautiful plants have a pink spike of flowers and fleshy spotted leaves, growing up to 25/30 cm high. Colinton seems to be the hot spot but do let us know if you spot one!
