Later in spring, in June, millions of wild orchids grow on Texel. Wild orchids are rare in the rest of the Netherlands. You can find them in the nature reserves, but also by the roadside and in the Krimbos. You can see the eye-catching purple flowers of the Harlekijn and the Brede Orchis everywhere near the nature-friendly banks in the Krimbos.
