Bryony's orchid - a second flowering. I never realized that orchid blooms last for such a long time. This one lasted for well over a month.


Mind you, orchids are a famously prolific family with over 800 genera and something like 26,000 species. I bet there are some that only flower for a day.

Just to be clear, the orchid belongs to Bryony, Bryony is not an orchid, nor, in this case an English wild flower.
