"The early spider orchid and the late spider orchid are two... rare varieties in this country...
the flower of the early spider orchid has yellow-green petals, while the lip resembles a big and exceptionally hairy spider and has a pale blue marking in the shape of an "H" on the upper side of its body. The late spider orchid stands considerably taller, with pink-orange petals, but with a similar brown velvety lip. ... The early spider orchid... can only be found at Dover in Kent... the late spider orchid can... be seen at five spots around Kent and... best bet for a sighting is in Wye Down."
