Dactylorhiza maculata

We had a fabulous 13 mile walk around Bewl today! Abundance of wildlife and plants, was quite delightful! #notmygarden #bewlwater #placestovisit

Beautiful example of spotted Orchid Dan, looks a fab day for a rather long walk or was that a hike possibly

Aww how lovely. I used to go to Bewl in my 20s. I remember doing a bike ride & don’t think I could walk for a week afterwards 🤣🤣. Do you ever go to Bedgebury?? I’d love to go there 😘

Was absolutely lovely Mark! Perfect temperature for a nice long walk! @solly1961

Omg my legs have gone so stiff 🤣🤣🤣🤣 bonus got some cherries on the way home though 🍒 No we’ve never been, must look that one up! @lexijane

I’m not surprised 🤣🤣. Ooh I bet it was from that little hut on the side of the A21. I always stop there for fruit 😆😆. You’d better get in the hot tub to soothe your poor pins 😁

Yes always, still the same lady that was there when we were kids! She had some geraniums too, may have accidentally picked one up 🤣🤣 @lexijane

Haha!!! You’re my kindred spirit for sure hun 🥰🥰

If that picture is anything to go by I’d have enjoyed that myself....💜💛💚

Sounds idyllic Dan 😍😍😍

Was so lovely, perfect temperature as well Elaine 😍 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

We really enjoyed it Jane. So nice to get out! @pelly
