Autumn Lady's Tresses

This dainty little orchid marks the end of the 'orchid season'. Its Latin name is Spiranthes spiralis and the spiral form adds to its beauty. These were at the Silverdale site and while they have been droughted and there was some grazing - rabbits and cattle - it was good to see them at this remarkable little site.

..and I always like seeing Carline Thistle...
