Southern Marsh Orchids


In the wet meadows and marshland these robust orchids are now in full flower. And in my garden too - I am lucky enought to have a small colony which has increased from one or two plants to 16 this year.
If you are in Hartland, the best place to see these is on the road verge just above Norton Farm, or alternatively in the lower valley that runs up through Milford Common from Speke's Mill Mouth.

I did a lovely walk with Jacqui and Rob last week; visitors to Hartland, they are keen walkers who organise Yoga Retreats. The next one is scheduled for October - check out their website http://abfabyoga.com/yoga-holidays-retreat/
