Southern Marsh Orchid
Southern Marsh Orchid / dactylorhiza praetermissa. Strumpshaw Fen, Norfolk. 08/06/187.
'SOME BLASTS FROM THE PAST.' (7)
An image made a couple of years ago in the damp wildflower meadow at Strumpshaw Fen.
Southern Orchids commonly hybridise with other Dactylorizha species which means identification can be tricky. I think this is a true SMO based on the gently rounded edges on the lips of the flowers. it's leaves were broad, green and lacked any markings.
