Whoโs gunna find the first one in bloom? ๐ saw these today in Buckinghamshire
Wild Orchids UK & Ireland
A strimmed (by Canal & River Trust ) Southern Marsh Orchid has reappeared along the canal near my house in Kidderminster. Big strong plant, it will be protected and should flower, like it did last year ๐
Although the Brown Fish Owl failed to show, a freshly-arrived Scops Owl made the night trip into the mountains worthwhile.

Nice little selection of Viola today on my misty morning walk. I managed Viola odorata var. odorata, var. dumetorum, and var. imberbis as well as a lovely little Viola reichenbachiana.

The Oxfordshire Giant Orchids aren't far behind those on the Continent, opening early this year, presumably due to the unseasonably warm and damp spell.
