Little Saxham


Flora and Fauna

This page will contain information about unusual flowers and animals seen in the village recently.



Let's start with these bee orchids.  Said to be quite rare, these orchids were spotted in two locations within the parish in late spring. A single orchid was seen at one site, but more than 50 were found in a grass meadow behind one of the houses. These pictures were taken when the flowers were at their best. Just look how much they resemble a bee!

This snakeshead frittilery was planted as a bulb in a local garden...



In April the churchyard has a profusion of these saxifrage flowers...
