    The picture on the thumbnail is different from the one in the actual article. I'm a gardener and native UK wild flower enthusiast, and the orchid in the thumbnail is deginitely not British.
    Ah, some people in comments say it's American.
    Keeping its location secret is extremely important. The minute its location is made known - someone will figure it's worth money and dig it up. Orchids are not easy to transplant, they rely on special types of soil fungi to thrive.

    At last some good news🎉. So pleased he, as a plant lover (as in not a collector), found it. Good to see it will be protected too, and well done for spotting it. He’s right, we can create the habitats, but most couldn’t be bothered. Let’s face it, some can’t even create a garden habitat, so yep let’s keep it a secret. As a plant lover and keen gardener I’m 100% for that.❤
