One of our best known orchids, the Bee orchid can be seen at
many sites around Dorset.All around Portland and the
Purbecks,at Badbury Rings, Fontmell Down and east of
Bridport, this beautiful orchid is at its best throughout
June.
There are also several distinct "forms" or sub-species of the
Bee orchid. The commonest one in Dorset is the "Wasp" orchid, this is the var. trollii.
