Valley Orchids.

 For a second year running we have  Orchids blooming in the valley. A single Southern Marsh Orchid has reappeared in last year's locaton, and a single, rather small, Pyramidal Orchid has appeared in a new location. The Pyramidal Orchid which was found last year was, most unfortunately, dug up and all that remains in that location is a trowel shaped hole. Orchids do not transplant, so, please, if you do come across one, do not pick it or attempt to move it. The seeds of Orchids are described as very numerous and very small. They are wind borne and a single bloom can, if left undisturbed, result in large numbers of flowers.
