7th June 2020 #30DaysWild


The one and only Frog orchid. 


The Fragrant orchids are showing up in lots of places through the Black Park and the Haunn field.


Wood bitter vetch on the banks along the track through the Haunn field.






Flag irises near Duill Cottage


Tonight's beautiful sunset.


I didn't know what this plant was, so asked Prasad.  He sent it off to the County Recorder to ask her advice and she confirmed that it is New Zealand willow herb.  So very different from its name sake, Rosebay willow herb.  It is minute for a start with these tiny white pendant flowers, growing on the bank beside the biomass container.

The Bluebells have been wonderful this year.   They are going over now, but looked lovely with the red seed heads of the Sorrel.  



This flat topped mound near the Haunn gate caught my drone's eye.
