Common Spotted Orchids are plentiful on Lodmoor. This year it has been recorded for the first time at Radipole. Volunteer Allan Neilson 'spotted' this one in the hedgerow on the Buddleia Loop.
The last of the Weymouth Wetlands orchids, the Pyramidal, are now coming into flower. These slightly scented orchids are in flower from early July through to early August. This orchid is easily identified by its pyramidal shape from which it gets its name.
