Meanwhile, here are some actual orchids - newly emerged and looking terrific. It's certainly a great time to be here, hay-fever notwithstanding.

River of orchids
Mid June in a Dartmoor hay meadow; purple, white, pink and yellow orchids pushing up through the yellow rattle and eyebright. Makes me think of the song River of Orchids by XTC ('the world overgrows').
Meanwhile, here are some actual orchids - newly emerged and looking terrific. It's certainly a great time to be here, hay-fever notwithstanding.
