DAY OF THE ORCHIDS - COMMON SPOTTED ORCHIDS - DACTYLORHIZA FUCHSII (Part 1)

Now here is a full array of Common Spotted Orchids from the same patch in a location I visit.

Now I was hoping for a day like this but I expected them to have stopped flowering but was pleasantly surprised!

Now in this series there are many different plants and you can see a difference in the colours and all of these are only a few feet apart. In all honesty I was under the impression that variation like this would be separated by a few hundred miles at least?!

This is part one and more from the same site in the following post.

DAY OF THE ORCHIDS - PYRAMIDAL ORCHID ANACAMPTIS PYRAMIDALIS Part ONE

OK now this site I had been visiting for sometime now and had seen nothing, two years in fact

Only now with a NEW camera and this blog I was really determined to stay on this site until it showed me....something!

Only when I dragged myself out the house and onto my bike to get something for this blog and change the lack of content I had provided I was in fair a fair few surprises?!

Not only were these Pyramidal Orchids actually out but while getting photos I then spot no less than TWO other species!

Remember I have been visiting this site around 5 or 6 years now, lol!!
