Flower season blooms

Looks like the orchid season is upon us. I saw my first heath last week and on Sunday I found the first Northern marsh. It was a good day for flowers with my year firsts for cocks n hens, nmo, heath milkwort and butterwort. I found 20 flowering plant spieces on the Russadale track A good afternoon despite the rain. Last week I had speedwell and the first of the vetches down in the south parish. Orkney is about to bloom for the summer…a bit of sun after this rain and its all going to happen.
