This resulted in a big drop in Monkey Orchid (<em>Orchis simia<\/em>) numbers as they seem to put on their growth spurt right at the time that the rains failed. The Lady orchid (<em>Orchis purpurea<\/em>) and the hybrids (<em>Orchis x angusticruris =O.purpurea x simia<\/em>) seem to start earlier and so they got their growth done before the water all evaporated. That said, we did get a decent showing of Monkey orchids but most of the plants were hiding in the longer grass on the northern and western faces, where the soils seemed to be damper for longer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hartslock.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6217-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1192\" src=\"https:\/\/hartslock.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6217-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hartslock.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6217-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hartslock.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6217-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/hartslock.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6217-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/hartslock.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6217-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/hartslock.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6217-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/hartslock.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6217-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Lady orchid<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hartslock.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6213-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1193\" src=\"https:\/\/hartslock.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6213-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1193\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hartslock.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6213-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hartslock.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6213-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/hartslock.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6213-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/hartslock.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6213-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/hartslock.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6213-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/hartslock.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6213-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>A very &#8220;Monkey-ish&#8221; hybrid<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hartslock.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6211.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" data-id=\"1194\" src=\"https:\/\/hartslock.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6211.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1194\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hartslock.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6211.jpg 750w, https:\/\/hartslock.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6211-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/hartslock.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6211-600x800.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>A more typical hybrid<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This month has been incredibly dry with virtually no rain, and more crucially it followed another fairly dry Spring month.
