Some like it hot – wild orchids 'Lady's Tresses' thrive in Summer 2018 as they did in 1995

Readers of ‘Guernsey Country Diary’ ­published by the late Nigel Jee in 1997, may be familiar with his reference to ‘Lady’s Tresses’ wild orchids, appearing around the tombstones in St. Peter’s churchyard, during the month of September, in a summer of drought. The reference to Lady’s Tresses was likely written in 1995, when the Island enjoyed warm weather all summer long, with temperatures peaking at the start of August.
