I love orchids and this variety regularly reaches 60 centimetres, which is quite impressive. In my previous photo you can see how tall it stands in its habitat.

A pure white variety of the Common Fragrant-orchid (Gymnadenia conopsea var. albiflora) is not as common as its pink-purplish relatives. We spotted only one single specimen amongst plenty of pink-purplish flowers of Common Fragrant-orchids or Chalk Fragrant-orchids as they often called due to their preference to thrive on chalk grasslands. This orchid wasn’t particularly tall (under 4 inches) but most of the plants were relatively short anyway. Selsley Common. Gloucestershire; England, UK.
Thank you for your visit, favour and comment, much appreciated.
A bunch of violets blooming in the park :)
Wood violet, sweet violet, common violet or garden violet (Viola odorata) is a species of flowering plant in the viola family, native to Europe and Asia. It has been introduced into North America and Australia. It blooms from March to April. The species can be found near the edges of forests or in clearings; it is also a common "uninvited guest" in shaded lawns or elsewhere in gardens. In herbal medicine violets has been used for a variety of respiratory ailments, insomnia and skin disorders. Flowers are also edible and used as food additives for instance in salad, made into jelly, and candied for decoration. The sweet scent of this flower has popular, particularly in the late Victorian period, so this plant has been used in the production of many cosmetic fragrances and perfumes.

A woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the family Rosaceae. There are over three hundred species and thousands of cultivars. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing, or trailing, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwestern Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Roses have acquired cultural significance in many societies. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach seven meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses. 32820
I've gone to Kyoto last weekend.
Whenever going there, I wish to live in the beautiful ancient city.
Bought a packet of seeds in the spring, enough to fill about six tubs with clouds of tiny fragrant flowers. Sweet Alyssum fills the garden with a scent a bit like warm honey on a sunny afternoon. A winner with me and also loved by the insects.

As I’m playing catch-up here I have quite a few spring images to post. I had a wonderful time amongst the wild garlic even if I was a bit late to the party. Such an aromatic plant although you soon lose the smell in the realm of creativity. A wonderful little pathway, leading me to this spot with the help of Stuart East. Very generous of him to share it with me.
There were a lot of lily of the valley flowers, so in the forest was beautiful smell. walking there was absolutely fantastic :)
Cały las był pełen kwitnących konwalii i wszędzie czuć było ten ich piękny zapach. Spacerowało się jak w bajce :)
Because we're going out tonight...
