We were back at Sanna on Friday to see how the frog orchids were coming on, and they're doing well again this year. The Diary has already reported on those flowering behind
Port na Tuine - see post
here - but the main group, near the beach below Sanna Bheag, are now coming out.
What is noticeable at this site is the variety in colour, from this very dark one....
....through various paler....
....and greener shades to....
....ones which are almost totally green - the ones that are most difficult to spot and, therefore, most likely to be trodden on.
We had been worried that the sheep, which are usually out of this field and on the common grazings at this time of year, might eat them, but this doesn't seem to be happening.
I don't often comment but I always read your blog posts. I just wanted you to know they are very much appreciated!
ReplyDeleteThank you. It has been a great pleasure writing this Diary, the more so when I learn that people 'out there' have enjoyed it. Best wishes. Jon
