Is the Orchard wild ?
Nothing more nicer that Bamboo especially a field of them when I went to Frejus in like a valley there was a field of them towering up beautiful.

Have you been to the Bambouserie near Saint Jean du Gard? Bamboos are enormous there.

Thrupennyb,

The orchid is wild; it's called pyramidal orchid.
Here's the Wikipedia page:

Siris,
I looked it up and it's near Alès/Marseille. No, I've never been to the far south. I'd love to visit there one day. There's a bamboo whole seller in our neighbouring village. They supply bamboos to zoos (for pandas to eat).
