Tom had a good trip to Hartslock NNR earlier this week when he went in search of monkey orchids, monkey x lady orchid hybrids, white helleborine and a variety of other species including pasque flower (Orchis hybrids deserve a post of their own).
Nice to see so many butterflies out in the sun on this short visit.
