Friston Forest - 30th July

The Broad-leaved Helleborines are now in full flower in Friston Forest, surrounded by hundreds of White Helleborines which must have been an amazing sight when in flower earlier in the year. Definitely will return here next spring to behold that spectacle. The colour variation of the BLHs is striking with one particularly attractive plant having pale green colouration on its labellum. The common wasp is clearly a prime pollinator of BLHs.
