Early Marsh Orchids
Early Marsh Orchids / dactylorhiza incarnata. Swaddywell Pit, Cambridgeshire. 07/06/22.
'TOGETHERNESS.'
Swaddywell Pit has a small but significant colony of Early Marsh Orchids growing in just one damper area of grassland. This year numbers exceeded expectation with at least c36 flower spikes.
My visit was made specifically to see them and I timed it fairly accurately, as most were in prime condition. Another orchid 'first' for me and looking gorgeous in delicate baby-pink tones.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
