The lane looking dry

In the herbage between the tyre tracks of the lane that leads only to 'oor hoos' and a field a Northern Marsh Orchid has sprung up. Fortunately the vehicle traffic on the lane is usually just driven by Toad, me and the postman so it might survive long enough to produce seed.

You might be able to pick it out just to the left of the middle in this pic above.


It is really very unusual to see the lane looking dry so I'm recording it! Took this pic yesterday. It rained during the night so normality has resumed. The ferns on the right are in front of our neighbours' garden wall. When you get to the fuchsias that's us.

The middle part of the back lawn is looking fabulous–better than I've ever seen it–with heath bedstraw. There is some pignut in the foreground and one orange hawkweed; masses of both elsewhere in the garden.
