Flowers

Here at Fancy's Farm we have a great variety of wild flowers including some very rare species. We have lots of pyramidal and bee orchids and also possibly the largest number of early gentians anywhere in the world. Please click the images below to see them full size.

Bob Ford runs regular nature walks around Portland and has visited Fancy's Farm several times along with our other site at Waycroft Quarry. Click here to see his reports of his visits.
