Tyrrel's Wood - Early Purple Orchids, 23 April 2022

A walk around our local ancient woodland mainly for exercise purposes but it would have been very amiss of me not to check on the Early Purple Orchids while passing.

I found groups of c250, c45 and 2 in three different places. The biggest group held several lovely pale specimens but the pure 'alba' found last year was nowhere to be seen. Other plants around the walk included the locally rare Sanicle and plenty of Yellow Archangel
