Bird's Nest Orchid
A solitary Bird's Nest Orchid (Neottia nidus-avis) just emerging among the Bluebells in Buckholt Wood, Cranham, Glos today. At this stage they look for all the world like brown asparagus.
There is a site where these grow in numbers a few hundred yards away but this large example was completely on its own
