You may notice that the Grass in the Parish Cemetary is not being cut. This is due to the annual appearance of the Autumn Lady's Tresses or Spiral Orchids, small, endangered Orchids only found we believe in Trinity and St Martin's Cemetary's.The leaves form in late July/ August just before the flowers and last over the winter before dying back in July and the cycle starting again. The orchids take 11 years to flower from seed and do have tubers below ground. You can find out more https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiranthes_spiralis or see a video about them on this You Tube Video https://youtu.be/NeL_OryMQ0w?si=oEpYWjwaa93YpJib which is about the Orchids in the New Forest
