Dry Morning.
Not seen many galls on the Alder this year but we did manage to find some.
Alder Gall - Eriophyes laevis
These Orchids are all hybrids - Parents are Common Spotted & Southern Marsh. Last year we counted over 40 in the area.
Dactylorhiza x grandis - this hybrid was typical being strong and vigorous looking, note the rings instead of spots.
Just a few feet away and we get a beautiful Orchid that is almost a Southern Marsh.
Both parent plants are to be found nearby.
Mallard Ducklings
Water Dock - Rumex hydrolapathum
White Clover - Trifolium repens
Take Care.
That orchid is really amazing. I like the spotted leaves.
