       From Friday morning at Durlston Country Park, Swanage, the first (and for me so far only) flowering Early Spider Orchid of the year. A special moment for orchidomanes. Having only just opened, you can see how flat the lower lobe is, not puffed out into a globular shape like a spider's body. In a few weeks, there'll be tens of thousands of them along the Purbeck coast and impossible to miss them.#wildflowerhour @ukorchids #Dorset
