11/10/26 #Madeira - I love a good wall community 🥰 Polypodium macaronesicum (a close relative of Southern Polypody #Fern, P. cambricum) and a rosette of Neotinea maculata, one of the most widely-distributed European #orchids

11/10/26 #Madeira - More #Orchid rosettes on stone walls, among the most supportive semi-natural habitats across Macaronesia. These will produce flowering plants of Neotinea maculata and Gennaria diphylla in the spring.
