Thanks for the heads up on the video numbering ..... Leyburn is now OH177 ! The two missing videos are part of a side-project that will probably kick off in a month's time or so. Based on social media observations, it is evident that this Summer has seen a huge influx of new orchid fans who are where I was at the beginning ..... ie: bewildered and unsure as to how to move off first base. This side project will hopefully provide some VERY basic videos to help newcomers move forward with a little confidence but I'm still working on it at the moment !

Wasn't aware of that Pyramidal variant, will keep an eye out for it in future. By the way, what was the guy in the background at the end doing? Chasing butterflies with a net?!

@OrchidHunter Ай бұрын

I was aware of it because I saw the very same orchid a few years back and highlighted it then but I only found out recently that it was a recognised and named variant which was only discovered in the mid 1970s.

The guy with the net was actually a moth man ..... not butterflies. Nice and knowledgeable chap !

That Pyramidal is a looker! I can’t believe how quickly we are whizzing through the orchid season. I went in search of E Purpurata in Groton wood (suffolk) yesterday and was left rather disappointed. Only 1 stem above ground, in a wood usually full of them. Even the well photographed noar hill violet helleborine had considerably less stems than usual, when I was down there a few weeks ago.

Yes it seems to have flown by but I was ready for it and made the most of every chance to get out even if that has left me exhausted ! Won't be worrying too much about helleborines for a couple of weeks and then I'll try and cover as many as I can in a mini tour ..... we don't have many up here.
