Ainsdale Dunes - 12th July
Another trip across to Ainsdale Dunes to monitor progress of the Helleborines. Among the dune slacks I found three Dune Helleborines in flower although they were all quite small and two of them had started to finish flowering. However on the edge of the Scots Pine forests it was a different story with large numbers of tall Dune Helleborines, most just starting to flower, as well as a few Green-flowered Helleborines in full flower. It looks like being a very good year for both species. I also found an attractive Dune Pansy.
