Our bee orchids are in bloom University of Hertfordshire π€© These are currently located by the SPECS hoarding, why not take a look for yourself! π Fun fact: The flowers of Bee orchids pretend to look like female bees to attract male bees. When males try to mate, they pollinate the flower.
Spot the difference! Before and after shots of our #upcycling session today. Lots of lovely creativity on display! πͺ‘π§΅π₯° UHSustainability
