Common or Chalk Fragrant Orchid DSC_1455
Common or Chalk Fragrant Orchid / gymnadenia conopsea. Barnack Hills and Hollows, Cambridgeshire. 21/06/17.
I only managed to find this single Common Fragrant Orchid spike that looked pristine and undamaged, its full beauty locked away inside the closed flower buds.
It was growing quite close to a group of 8 x CFOs that had peaked their prime and were beginning to wither and brown.
