Pembrey Burrows LNR Orchids...and more


With an overcast morning the light was less harsh so hopefully my attempts to capture the vista of the Green Winged Orchids will be an improvement on Thursday's attempt.

The orchid comes in several colour forms, from the standard deep purple through pink and then white, this is common in flowers which have blue or purple flowers.

The buttercup in the photographs is Bulbous Buttercup, quite a dainty variety compared to, say Creeping Buttercup.

There are plenty of other flowers coming into bloom including  Common Vetch, Rue leaved Saxifrage and the Early Dog Violet below.





The next few weeks will see the reserve burst into bloom..
