Several of us visited the Hutchinsia at Craig y Cilau on Wednesday. I like this picture because the Rue-leaved Saxifrage nearby, a small plant itself, gives a sense of the tininess of the Hutchinsia on the right.

The other main delight (apart from the spectacular views of course) was an abundance of rosettes of Early-purple Orchid - definitely to be visited again soon.
The team are out recording again with, for instance, four monad 20 year updates for Moschatel (or better - one monad was new).

And I took a new photo of the White Comfrey on a Llangattock verge, spotted by Ray Woods a few years back.
