Lizard Orchid
Lizard Orchid / himantoglossum hircinum. Leicestershire. 13/06/20.
'LEICESTERSHIRE LIZZIE'
'Leicestershire Lizzie' as she has become fondly known, has caused considerable interest from people far and wide. She was first noted in 2018, but thought to be present on the roadside verge for some years prior to this. The brilliant news is that several seedlings have now established themselves close by so hopefully, the makings of a colony
This image was made just over a year ago but she has put on a spectacular show in 2021. Although unable to connect with her in all her glory this year, I did see her on 6th June when she was not far off opening.
