Frog Orchid
Frog Orchid / dactylorhiza viridis. Barnack Hills and Hollows, Cambridgeshire. 04/07/21.
'A SEARCH WELL REWARDED.'
To locate 5 x Frog Orchids last weekend involved a meticulous search, despite me having a map and directions to the general area they grew in!
This is one of the little beauties I saw, standing at the dizzy height of just 5cms! The FOs were growing in close proximity to each other, on a slope of calcareous grassland in a medieval quarry. All of them had beautiful reddish sepals which was particularly pleasing, as a previous Frog encounter was with an all green plant.
