Some shots from a walk on a Kent golf course this weekend, all taken from the same bit of rough.

Wow, that almost makes me want to take up golf.

Not quite though!

Very nice photos, thanks.

Very nice indeed.
Have you compared the scent of the G. conopsea and H. hircinum? Quite a difference.

Most of the time I was there the sky was quite overcast and there wasn't much of a smell coming from either of them. Then I decided to sit down and draw one of the Lizard orchids. Not long after the sun came out and the famous goaty pong which gives them their name filled the air. After an hour or so I was feeling a little nautious ! Unfortunately, somehow I lost the sketch book on the way and all I'm left with now is the memory of my time spent with that stinky marvel !
