Return to Bonsai !

As I was pretty close to Denge woods and the Bonsai Bank after visiting P.G.D. thought I would have a quick look to see how the Lady Orchids had developed, only a few were showing on my last visit at the beginning of May,
they were now looking really good and seemed to be everywhere on the Bonsai Bank.

I was also looking for Butterfly Orchids seen here a few years ago, couldn't find any, but should be showing soon. I did come across two White Helleborine and a few Common Twayblade.

A couple of day flying moths were seen the Speckled Yellow shown below.

Plenty of Duke Of  Burgundy Butterflies on show, more than I have ever seen, thanks must go to the volunteers who keep the site to there liking..
