BEE ORCHIDS IN JULY 2013 IN GROVE SITE

More of the Ophrys apifera and still in flower.

Pods beginning to form while there are still some flower buds waiting to open.

First time I found this site I do not think there has been many out as I had just missed them flowering and they had swollen pods and I am pretty sure it was at least a month earlier that it is now. The flowers were all dried up when I first saw them and not one even closely resembled a full blown flower. That was about four years ago and found the Marsh Orchids nearby the year before if I recall correctly.

Some of these look like they would still have flowers in a week or twos time?!
