Took a break during my monthly Reptile survey in the New Forest, and walked to nearby Wilverley plain, which is good for Autumn Ladies Tresses, a late flowering Orchid.

Took a few minutes to find one, then as often happens, you realise they are everywhere! a small number where coming into flower, some a straight, other corkscrewed. All just a couple of inches high in the short grass.

Also saw Scarlet Pimpernel, and Bog Pondweed, plus Lesser Centaury, a regular flower in the New Forest it would seem.
