I'm not even going to hazard a guess at the orchids.
I'm very impressed that you got those thistles and the butterflies/moth
right. When I described the swallowtail to Alastair and Masha they both
immediately suggested hawk moth. Whatever. It was a lovely friendly little
creature with a very graceful soaring flight, almost never flapping its
wings.
The orchids were quite common. Alastair seemed to like them, but also did
not know more precisely what they are. I didn't even know they were orchids.
Orchids are the bonobos of the plant world. If you have two species
growing in a place there will be 57 different hybrids, also.
