Pyramidal Orchid
Pyramidal Orchid / anacamptis pyramidalis. Lindrick Common, South Yorkshire. 20/06/20.
I've never seen Pyramidal Orchids growing at Lindrick Common on any of my previous visits, so to find at least 25 plants was a treat this year. They were well distributed around the rough meadow grassland, their vibrant colours making them quite conspicuous. The majority of spikes I looked at closely were in near prime condition, surprising as it seemed rather late in their flowering season. This group of three looked particularly attractive amid the green vegetation. Check out some of the long, tubular spurs that are visible if the image is viewed large.
