About Britain's OrchidsAccording to the wonderful English Nature book in the Wild Guides series called "Britain's Orchids" there are only between 50 and 60 well-characterized orchid species that grow in the British Isles. This seems a manageable sized group to be able to get to grips with in a photo pool. The species are found everywhere in the UK, some rare and restricted in distribution, some common. The flowers are fantastic, often come in a rangeof colour and pattern varieties even within a single species. Some species have flowers which are incredible mimics of insects which are induced to pollinate the flowers by attempting to mate with them! |
