Today we went on an organised wildflower tour, mostly to find orchids. Once you know where and how to look for them they are everywhere. Sadly, the better known the area becomes, the more ignorant people arrive, trample on the young plants and also dig them up to take home [they never survive as their growing conditions are very specific]. We also saw plenty of other flowers unique to this area. Here are some of the orchids we viewed.
