Finding the plant on one of the former roads around the airfield, the Bee Orchid quite clearly looked like the form Var.belgarum.
To put this flower into context, I believed it was the first time this form has been recorded in Leicestershire and Rutland!! (Unless of course somebody knows differently).
Over the last couple of weeks I have checked the site again and have found at least 4 spikes of this form.
I have sent the details to Michael Jeeves (Vc55 plant recorder) and just waiting to see if he has any more information on this form.
Fingers crossed it will be a new record for the county?
