A trip to see the rare Kentish Green Flowered Helleborine - Epipactis phyllanthes - var degenera

Day 167 2017 365 (C)

 

Once a year we all make a pilgrimage to a messy, litter strewn lay-by in West Kent. You get down prostrate on the dry leaves and MacDonald's wrappers to get the best shot as cars, lorries and bikes zoom past within inches of your head and stop if they think you have collapsed on the roadside "Which always happens to me, god bless the British motorist!" And here in this roadside stop is the only accessible population of Kent's Green Flowered Helleborine's. Worth it, definitely........
