Common Spotted Orchid

Common Spotted Orchid / dactylorhiza fuchsii. Leicestershire. 17/06/20.

 

Lots of Common Spotted Orchids had appeared in a damper woodland ride, all in pristine condition on the afternoon I visited last year.

 

This one had very pale pink petal margins, with the usual spots, lines and squiggles in deep magenta. Eye-catching and gorgeous!

 

BEST VIEWED LARGE.
