The Wild Flowers and Orchids of the Countryside -Part 2 - is a continuation of the previous Wildflower talk. In this talk we look at more wildflowers as well as some of the rarer wild orchids. We also look at plants that can be found in the countryside that would make you ill or even kill you. For example - Deadly Nightshade, Monkshood, Giant Hogweed and many others. We also examine several of the plants that were used in olden times to cure illness. This talk is primarily aimed at gardening clubs and horticultural societies. Like Part 1, this talk is normally presented as a 50/55 minute presentation with questions at the end. For groups that would require a full evening presentation of 1hour 45mins (with a short interval) Parts 1 and Parts 2 of the Wild Flowers of the Countryside can be combined.

I have been involved in photography for over 25 years. My main interests are Natural History and Landscape Photography. I have been presenting talks to various group/societies for over 20 years and I have a range of different presentations. I lecture to Photographic Clubs, Wildlife and RSPB groups, U3A Groups, Probus Groups, Gardening and Horticultural Societies and also WI`s. Presentations can be tailored to suit different groups - depending on whether a short 50mins talk is required or a full evening talk, this can be divided into two sections with a coffee break in the middle. Ideally I prefer to actually visit a society to give a presentation, but I am at present giving talks via the Zoom platform. This means I am now able to give presentations in any area rather then be limited to East Anglia and the North London area. I have recently given zoom presentations to groups in Wales, Scotland and Ireland. Details of all my talks can be found on my web site at www.rogerhancefrps.com
