We met an orchid officionado the other day and he said that the orchids were all confused this year due to the awful weather we have had over the past month or so. However, we do seem to be having a bumper crop. All of these (7 different varieties) have been spied on our own land so far this year. Last year we found 13 different varieties on our walks around the gite where we were staying, but we hope to find even more this year now we know a bit more about what we are looking for.
