Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Roadside Pyramidal Orchids. In the right conditions, Pyramidal Orchids (Anacamptis pyramidalis) can appear in profusion, and roadside verges in chalk areas often produce these conditions.
These ones are on a bank beside the roundabout at junction 8 of the M25, which is where the motorway crosses the North Downs ridge (between junctions 5 and 4, north of Sevenoaks is another site where the distinctive rich pink colour of these orchids brightens up the banks of the motorway, as it starts its ascent back over the North Downs). At this particular point there were almost 200 flowers in a 5 metre stretch of bank, with more at other points around the roundabout. For a close up of some of this group, see 878055. |
