Yes, the seed is set on the orchids, but I'm not sure about all the caterpillar food plants.

i think perhaps I''ll try a cut now and then one late autumn.
A shame the orchid people here didn't get back to me :(
In the General forum, trois suggests a cut once the seed is set and then mowing regularly for the rest of the year.

The orchids here are Serapias lingua and S cordigera (in photo). There are also bee orchids in the grass by the side of the drive, but I've cut that as the seed was set.
