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.

You must be absolutely delighted!

Some orchids do well on basically ex-industrial land. The last pyramidal
orchid I saw was on top of a Hoffman kiln, and the brick walls of the
kiln had a thriving colony of bee orchids.
