Fabulous ....lucky man
13/8/18 Pyrénées - My wife very kindly gave me part of the last day of our holiday to go botanising. I headed for a good patch of dark woodland with many damp gulleys and after a steep climb was delighted to come across this lone example of Epipogium aphyllum, the Ghost #Orchid.pic.twitter.com/KrMoJ0Tjyl

I’m pleased as punch for sniffing it out and choosing the site to visit out of about five or six that I saved into the Sat Nav when driving around but even then, yes I am incredibly lucky. I hope it is not another 13 years before I see another one!

Did you go to to the Gorgues d'Asque known as Petit Amazonie? Went 10 days ago

I didn’t Sarah, but it looks like I need to add it to the list of awesome places I’ll be visiting when I return to this breathtakingly beautiful part of the world
