Frog and Musk Orchids
Had a day out last Sunday orchid hunting with Richard Revels. We went to Bison Hill first to photograph Frog Orchids. This is a good site for this quite small orchid, but they do grow in small numbers on the side of the hill. It takes a while to get your eye in to spot them in the long grass.

After the Frog Orchids we went on to Tottenhoe Knolls to photograph the Mush Orchids. Perhaps not the most exciting or the most photogenic of orchids, but it was nice however to find them in full flower.

We finished of the day before the rain came in by going to Sharpenhoe Clappers. Richard new where there were some quite attractive Crested Cow Wheat growing.
