At Ainsdale Dunes today I managed to locate all three varieties of the Early Marsh Orchid, namely var. incarnata (pale pink), var. coccinea (deeper pink), var. pulchella (purple) – I think this is the first time that I have seen all three growing side by side at Ainsdale. There were also some stunning Pyramidal Orchids in amongst the dune slacks. On the way back to the car I found a pair of Small Copper mating.
