No Mow May is a real thing. The idea is to not mow your lawn during May to give little wildflowers a chance to bloom and feed native bees. We participated this year, which isn't unusual: we often don't mow the lawn in May (or April. Or March. Or - name any month since October).
This year the Lizard Orchids have really benefitted. We have at least five plants busily flowering away. They aren't the prettiest of orchids, but they are ours.

A you say, Susan, these orchids are not the prettiest, but why are they called Lizard? I cannot spot a single flower that would look like one.
chm: They look like the tail and hind legs of a lizard.
