Enduring Beauty: Orchid Portraits of the RHS The RHS has employed an official artist to paint beautiful life-size portraits of orchids for over 120 years. This exhibition opened in the Library just before lockdown started. It was going to provide a spectacular display of recent RHS orchid portraits - including the latest portraits by current RHS Orchid Artist, Deborah Lambkin. Deborah is the ninth official RHS orchid painter since the first postholder was appointed in 1897 The digital exhibition:

When visiting Great Dixter last week, there were lots of local orchids in the uncut meadow grass areas of the site. I love garden websites that actually identify plants you can see - as the Great Dixter site does in relation to the Front Meadow area
The grass is cut twice (August and late autumn) and all is removed and composted. Orchids native to the Weald are a particular success; early purples, green winged, twayblade and spotted (Dactylorhiza fuchsii). It is a sanctuary for them, since changed farming and woodland practices have eliminated most of their natural habitats. H. Isobel Adams and Wild Flowers of the British Isles
