This churchyard in West Sussex was beautifully tended to preserve the Green-winged Orchids, Orchis morio, which were splendid yesterday.
East Sussex also has the above magnificent churchyard, which is similarly sympathetically left for wild flowers to thrive.
The "green wings" are more easily seen in the pale forms of this orchid.
