Two years ago, two pyramidal orchids popped up in the\u00a0meadow which takes over my front lawn every summer. \u00a0Last year, there was no sign of them.<\/p>\n
This year they are back, and I did not notice their growing. \u00a0I had given up hope of seeing them again as the usually large numbers of ox-eye daisies that usually dominate the meadow had not turned up either, except as a trickle. \u00a0I put it down to the weather in March \/ April \/ May (rather than to climate change).<\/p>\n
So, something of an equilibrium is restored in my head at least. \u00a0All cannot be so bad if it's a two orchid summer, and there's the bonus that I can gaze on them without spending a drop of carbon.<\/p>\n
