Lady Orchid
There is little doubt that the Orchid is one of the superstars of Britain's flora.
The group has been top of the plant pops ever since the Victorian naturalists obsessed over them and made huge collections of both our native and many exotic species.
The South of England is one of the richest part of the British Isles for Orchids due to its midl climate and chalk grasslands.
A great place to go Orchid spotting is Yockletts Bank - renowned for its Lady Orchids. Early June is a great time to see the Orchids when they are in bloom.
