This week I though I would bring you just a snippet of my floral findings while we were away in South West Scotland. Mostly they are common wildflowers but there was one where the location must remain hidden!
The Pyramidal Orchid above was kindly pointed out to me by a fellow walker I met along my route. I might easily have taken it for clover as there was plenty of that about – it is not the same but is indeed a little beauty.
The fact that the other wildflowers are common makes them no less beautiful to me and it is one of the delights of the summer and being in the countryside that they are there. And then of course there is the scents, particularly the elderflower and honeysuckle . . . amazing!

Me neither and I would have missed it if it hadn’t been pointed out to me. It’s a lovely one though!
