Pyramid orchids
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. -- Sally in Shropshire, UK Posted through uk.rec.gardening |

In the olden days of urg, Alan Gould sent round his lovely garden photographs by snail mail and we had to pass them on the next poster in a similar fashion. Sadly, I have lost touch with him now. -- June Hughes |

I'll have another look tomorrow, or take some with my phone. Meanwhile, my web pages desperately need updating but some of the story of our garden is he www.stonybrook-ludlow.co.uk/garden.html. -- Sally in Shropshire, UK Posted through uk.rec.gardening |
