With a day off from rehearsing at Glyndebourne for a Ravel Double Bill performance, solo opera singer, François Piolino http://piolino.fr/index.html
was seen today photographing native orchids on the South Downs.
He informed me that; "The orchids in the Jura mountains of my native Switzerland are beautiful. Sussex has orchids that do not grow in Switzerland and I'm thrilled to see and photograph Bee Orchids for the first time."
Welcome to Sussex François, it was a pleasure to meet you today.
