Eastern Road Plantation

Autumn Lady's-tresses, Walstead Cemetery Spiranthes spiralis is the last orchid of the season. Largely confined to southern England in the UK, this small orchid grows in short grass, usually on chalk or limestone.  Away from these, churchyards and not too recently mown dry lawns are worth searching.
