Pyramidal Orchid

Pyramidal Orchid / anacamptis pyramidalis. Barnack Hills and Hollows, Cambridgeshire. 21/06/17.

 

'SOME BLASTS FROM THE PAST.' (8)

 

An image of a small, beautifully formed Pyramidal Orchid from two summers ago.

BEST VIEWED LARGE.

 

This orchid has bright, conspicuous colouring and a very distinct pyramidal shaped flower spike during its early development. Although the flower spike can lose it's compact appearance with age, I still think POs are one of our easier wild orchids to identify.
