Green-winged Orchid
Green-winged Orchid / anacamptis morio. Cribb's Meadow, Leicestershire. 18/05/20.
'FADING GLORY.'
The fading glory of a Green-winged Orchid that would have once looked splendid. I particularly liked the bold markings on each flower's lower petal. I thought the blotches showed nicely against the pale mauve centres ... more subtle than on white, imo.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
