an unexpected guest

Mandy wasn't sure what this weed was growing in a pot in the garden
she didn't put it there and nearly turfed it out
but now it's beginning to show its true colours
it's a spotted Orchid
She didn't put the Aquilegia in either, they just found us


other sizes: small medium large auto

Nice close up! Yes we've acquired oxeye daisies and elder through the same mysterious route. I blame the birds....

Nice to find that an orchid has made its home with you. A great shot.

Your so lucky. I have plent of illegal Aqillegia imigrants but nothing as good as an Orchid

What a treat to find! As for the Aquilegia, well they're pretty unstoppable once you have one!!!
