dactylorhiza

Another day, another site. This is a SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest) near Mansfield. The Orchids on site include Dactylorhiza, Neottia ovata - Twayblade and Gymnadenia conopsea - the Fragrant Orchid Enjoy

This is a self set survivor of my original collection of Dactylorhiza maculata. It settled itself into a Hosta tub and hasn't looked back.The clone is now multi-headed and a bit of a favourite of MrsG. Please forgive the size of the photo but I really thought it deserved it for the detail...

This fellow found a good spot to put down roots. Self set in a S. purpurea pot. I suppose it shows that I definitely don't re-pot very often.

An early visit to this particular meadow. It puts on a very fine show of many orchids throuhout the season predominately Dactylorhiza fuchsii. These are not quite out yet ( see last picture) but I was very pleasantly surprised to see these little purple gems. Unfortunately I haven't ID'd them...

A couple of plants of Dactylorhiza fuchsii from my field trip a couple of days ago. I was using the images in my new editor ( new computer etc as the last motherboard went phut!), to get used to it, so I thought I'd post this one.
