This is the same orchid bloom a few weeks apart. The one on the right, with more cream and blush tones, is how it looked when it first opened. The golden yellow one on the left is how it looks today. It also developed a wonderful sweet floral fragrance. #orchids #orchid

Lizard Orchid (Himantoglossum hircinum) at Berrow, Somerset. This species is on the edge of its range here in Britain, but appears to be expanding its range, potentially in response to climate change. This one was growing on a sand dune near a golf course and was around 30-40cm high, but they sometimes also grow on road verges, and can reach heights of 90cm. #Nature #Wildlife #Orchid #Wildflower #Flower #WildflowerHour #Plant #Botany #NaturePhotography #WildlifePhotography
