Today I went out to look for early purple orchids. I found lots! They grow in many different places on the farm, but the ones I found today were in the field we imaginatively call ‘beyond Haunn’ (because it is) where they are growing photogenically along the edge of the raised beaches, with wonderful views out to the Treshnish Isles.
There were lots of other flowers too – my first speedwell (not sure which one), primroses, dog violets, heath pea vetch, milkwort and my first butterwort this year too.
