A very large orchid
I went on a visit to Aylesbeare Common where the local RSPC warden was talking about this special Pebblebed Heathland environment. During the morning's visit we came across this very tall orchid which I think maybe a variant of the Common Spotted Orchid. It was certainly a magnificent site. We also saw several other smaller pink orchids and some insectivorous plants, sun dews, that were flowering in a dried out spot. See extra photo. The heather is also beginning to flower so its all looking very attractive. We also saw many butterflies and dragon flies along with a very large Emperor Moth caterpillar.
