I retired three years ago so I no longer have much opportunity to check on this, my favourite European Leopard Marsh Orchid, which wasn't far from my office. I used to check it almost every day this time of year, and when I drive by now I wonder about it. So today I stopt and went in search of it. Due, I suppose, to the lack of gardening work through the pandemic shut-down, it is surrounded by other plant volunteers, like the buttercup (Ranunculus) around it in the picture. There are also "stinger nettles" (really a thistle) in close proximity. but the orchid is doing well. It is about 30 cm tall and showing some cheeky colour in its flower buds.
