Burnt-tip Orchids

Burnt-tip Orchids (Neotinea ustulata) on rough south facing limestone grassland in the "White" Peak District. A diminutive orchid BTOs are rare in Derbyshire with this one field their last remaining site. Due to their small size (2-5-centimetres high) they are difficult to spot amongst grasses and other wildflowers.
