Rich1972 Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I can't say for certain but it looks like the early purple orchid (orchis mascula) although it could be the scarcer green-winged orchid (orchis bouffon). My money is on the early purple though. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris pp Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Nope Rich, apart from anything else they have both finished where the good lady lives. Have another go, it's another common, (in so much as orchids are common), and widespread orchid.Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Beautiful picture of a Pyramidal Orchid. How about this one Chris? I think I know what it is, but a second opinion would be welcome.

chris pp Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Tricky one...Dactylorhiza maculata sub.sp.ericetorum? or poss sub.sp.masuclata? but I would go for the ericetorum.Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
