Bee Orchid
OK, so bee orchids. I had always wanted to see them, but didn't know where to find them... then last week some friends told me they'd seen some quite locally. So since yesterday was a nice day, we popped out for a look. They took a little while to find, but were well worth the hunt! They are so much smaller than I thought they'd be - really tiny. I was expecting massive things! Anyway, here they are, and I love that they look like little Japanese chibi/manga characters
