Maryport - bee orchids

The bee orchids, together with pyramidal and common spotted orchids were stunning this morning - as were the purple broomrapes. It's remarkable what a little rain can do - if you look back at our last visit to Maryort this year click here, you'll see that we were wondering if they'd even make an appearance!
