Mike Dilger visits the Royal St George's golf course on the east Kent course, near Sandwich to see an orchid that loves the golf courses of southern England - the lizard orchid. Pete Forrest of Kent Wildlife Trust explains that lizard orchids are common on golf courses because they are at the edge of their range and it is down to climate. The sandy soils of golf courses are often hotter, so that helps the orchid out. It is called lizard orchid because it look like the tail and hind legs of a lizard disappearing into a flower, at least that's the theory. If you are a golfer in Kent and end up in the rough, have a look for this orchid.
