  • ... that Hatherton Flush, a Site of Special Scientific Interest in Hatherton, supports an abundance of orchids, including marsh helleborine (pictured), which is rare in Cheshire? Source: "Several species of orchid grow profusely on the site particularly common spotted-orchid Dactylorhiza fuchsii, southern marsh-orchid D. praetermissa and the hybrid between them. Of particular note are marsh helleborine Epipactis palustris and marsh lousewort Pedicularis palustris, both of which are rare in Cheshire." [1]
