Google Howick Hall and you'll get the drift. Anyway I found some BL Helleborines, Birds Nest Orchids, Northern Marsh and Common Spotted Orchid plus hybrids all in a small area on the lords estate this year...Have you had Lindisfarne Helleborine? Its only half an hour from me and I keep missing them!!!!Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01985665182124985194noreply@blogger.com
