Corfe Castle Purple for ‘Purple Lights for Pancreatic Cancer Campaign’

November 25, 2016

Tonight, Corfe Castle was lit up in purple (well, more a mauvish/pink actually) for the ‘Purple Lights for Pancreatic Cancer Campaign’. The National Trust organised the event after a Purbeck resident, Lynn Nelson, lost her 58-year old husband to the disease.

Corfe Castle is one of hundreds of UK landmarks which will be illuminated for the last weekend of November in support of the Campaign.

Ophrys sphegodes is also the first orchid to flower each year, heralding the start of the ‘orchid season.’ This year, I also found a woodcock orchid x Fly orchid hybrid, growing on a steep, Dorset hillside.
