A for me, unknown, but cool plant.

Kullaskogen

Near Sibbhult lies a nice area called Kullaskogen. In a marsh grows Heath Spotted-orchid, at the time I was here it was a little too early for them, but I did find Coralroot Orchid, several of them.

Korallrot Corallorrhiza trifida

Kullaskogen is most known for the old farm Sporrakulla. It´s from 17th century and has been used in movies.


At the time I was there, new beams were manufactured in the old way, with broad-axe,interesting to see.

Komperskulla

Near Olofström there is an old farmstead with a meadow with lots of flowers and insects.
Smörboll Trollius europaeus

Nice places!

Visited some places in the weekend, first of all was Lyngsjön, southwest of Kristianstad. Found Military Orchid, Common Twayblade and Western Marsh-orchid. Everything showed signs of the dry conditions.
