Orchids - Wilford Clay Pit Nature Reserve

The couple I met at Ironmongers pond told me about this reserve;
(see ttp://365project.org/oldjosh/365/2016-06-17) and that bee and southern marsh orchids were in flower. So much rain lately so this was the first opportunity I had to go there. It started to rain again, and just as I was heading back I notice the twayblade took a quick shot of it unfortunately it is not very clear but you can see the two basal leaves that give it it’s name.

Left and top left, southern marsh orchid; top right bee orchid
Bottom left to right, common spotted orchid, twayblade, fragrant orchid
Such a lovely selection, Margaret, they are all so lovely.
