Narrow-lipped Helleborine
Reference: FF62
Location: Sheepleas, Surrey
Gallery: Flowers (mainly Orchids),
Having just seen Narrow-lipped Helleborine in Oxfordshire I decided to make an additional 45 mile trip into Surrey to see if I could find other Narrow-lipped Helleborines but which weren’t as tight in bud as the single Oxfordshire specimen. Again the orchids are protected by cages at the reserve at Sheepleas near West Horsley and I was pleased to see that there were a few which had escaped the slugs and were fully in flower.
