What a lovely find!
These lovely delicate orchids are not uncommon here and are one of the gems of the moorland flora. They come in the most delicate shades of candy pink and white versions are not uncommon.
The focal point is as lovely as the background!
Thank you, it is hard to resist the temptation to photograph orchids especially in beautiful locations.
Another of Nature’s quirks – such isolated beauty
This is a lovely spot, lochans with flowering bog bean, piping golden plovers and even a small rowan.
