As some of you will know, we manage most of our large garden as a wildflower
meadow/wildlife friendly environment, which means among other things that we
only cut the grass twice a year, and we spread some hay bales from a
wildflower-rich meadow in autumn. Imagine our delight then to find some
pyramid orchids growing there for the first time! No bad for land which was
the spoil tip from a brick yard when we bought it!
Just thought I would share our pleasure.
Lucky you - how lovely! Any photos by any chance?
Just come in from shovelling compost for a cool-down and hopefully a choc
ice! I will take some photos and stick them on photobucket.
Choc ice. Um. Good idea. I am just about to skive off work early and
do some planting out so don't deserve one yet but what the hell?
