For #AnOrchidADay:

Back the next year, and on our final day of two weeks in the area, the Lindisfarne helleborine, Epipactis sancta, did flower.

Quest completed.

For #AnOrchidADay:

in 2013, I bought Harraps plant and site guide, and decided I wanted to see the Lindisfarne Helleborine. A two week holiday was planned, but the spikes didn't flower until after we left.

Made do though with the Dark Reds at Bishop Middleham's.

#Orchids

For #AnOrchidADay:

Still at Mt. Caburn:

Hundreds of spikes, most singles, but some in pairs, and even a triple.

I think after several years of Kent #Orchids for For #AnOrchidADay, for a few weeks I will switch to other UK orchids, maybe and then some from Rhodes, Cyprus and maybe that France.

So tomorrow, all change. All change.

For #AnOrchidADay:

One last yellow Man of Kent. #Orchid
