Early-flowering Burnt-tip Orchid, The Caburn

 A few years ago I heard about large numbers of this Orchid growing at the Caburn. The changing climate has made predicting when they will flower difficult. Last year we probably looked too late, so an earlier search was undertaken this year. However, like last year, only one spike could be found.
