The exotic beauty of Orchids!

Phil has recently provided me with a copy of the Book - The Orchid Hunter - about a guy's attempt to see (almost) all of Britain's Orchids in a single season. He visited South Wales to pick up Fen Orchid at Kenfig and Small White Orchid in mid Powys. Doing some digging around to find out where the Small White can be found, I came across references to Bird's-nest Orchids near to home.

So late this afternoon I made my way over to the site. It took me almost an hour to locate two spikes, but clambering up the banks, I noted a third, and later a forth. It took less than 5 minutes to walk back to the car!
