Exciting: Discovered a new wildflower in the garden, which I think we never had before. It appears to be a Pyramidal orchid, Anacamptis pyramidalis.
Another individual, who arrived on the wind and decided to stay.
Apparently native and widespread in England and Wales. A favourite with butterflies and moths.

It’s a good year for #orchids. This is the first #pyramidal #orchid to #flower on the #brickworks at #WWTCastleEspie for a few years.
