A quick look around the grass verges on the local industrial estate in Burnley gave me some encouragement that as long as they don't mow the grass within an inch of it's life the wild orchids can cling on. I wonder how many of the hundreds of workers that pass this way every week notice these little gems down at ground level or are they too busy texting on their mobile phones welded to their hands.
The grass bankings on the approach to this well know aerospace factory where more than three species of orchid survive.

Amongst the hustle & bustle of of the industrial estate these little beauties survive

They really are little beauties, David. Glad you can share them with your readers.
ReplyDeleteNice shots David.
ReplyDeleteDavid, Yes, we can miss so much under our noses. But when we begin to look more closely :-)
