Did you know we have 52 different species of wild orchid growing in Britain and Ireland? If you thought that orchids only grew in tropical forests or on your windowsill, think again: our native flora is quite extraordinarily beautiful and diverse.
Today on our Instagram feed, we’re starting a very cool series of tutorials on how to recognise each one of those native orchids. We’ve started with one of the most famous – and scarce – members of this family: the Lady’s Slipper.
To watch the tutorial, you need to log in to Instagram and watch our story. We’ll save each instalment of the orchid series on our profile so you can catch up with it.
