I noticed these little devils had popped up in my front lawn when I was about to cut it. I thought they were cute so dug them up and planted them in my wildflower meadow rather than get chopped off with the mower blades. ![Rolleyes Rolleyes](https://gardenandgossip.org/images/smilies/rolleyes.png)
My neighbour reckons they are Orchids and is a bit gutted that there aren't any in his lawn. I always cut his as well and his is full of buttercups!
After looking them up on a chart I tend to agree they are orchids, but I may be wrong?
They are very deep rooted as I found to my detriment when I chopped one of the roots off, and supposedly to thrive on chalk soils whereas mine is acid?
Here are a couple of piccies of the dug up specimens, and replanted in my little meadow.
