6/6/26 #Yorkshire - It's small, it's white, and it's an #orchid so I guess that's why it's called the Small White Orchid (Pseudorchis albida). Unfortunately this charming species has undergone huge declines in the UK and there are few sites where it's doing well #wildflowerhour

ALT Graphical abstract: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of fertilization regime (organic vs. inorganic) on the growth performance, nickel accumulation, and total nickel yield of the nickel hyperaccumulator Bornmuellera emarginata, cultivated under realistic field conditions in its native ultramafic environment in Northern Greece over a 3-year period.

8/4/26 #OrchidsOfRhodes - Reinhold's Bee #Orchid (Ophrys reinholdii) is a highly attractive species with plenty of variation to be seen across the multiple populations here on Rhodes. This lovely pale example, spotted by one of our guests yesterday, drew particular intrigue

8/4/26 #OrchidsOfRhodes - Having sailed past 50 #Orchid species for the tour, today we saw an incredible 33 species. At our first site this morning we enjoyed several spikes of Violet Limodore (Limodorum abortivum) and this amazing Pink Conehead Mantis, Empusa pennata
