A buzz seeing orchids

Looking for Bee Orchids this month didn’t go well. I searched a couple of the usual spots locally, without any luck. I didn’t want to travel far given travel is still ‘essential-only’ but I wanted to show Tania these marvelous little creations. Good friend Tony, my best man when Tania and I married, is my orchid go-to reference. He had found a few spikes just down the road so following his excellent directions we came across a dozen or so spikes. Searching the cliff face we also found a few more too. One even being visited by a bee!

The orchid of Bees

Bee Orchids gave a reasonable show this year. Here are a few shots taken on Norfolk day tours.

Snails Pace

It is said that the Bee Orchid mimics a now extinct bee to assist in its fertilisation. Things now seem to be done a lot slower!
