Military Orchid

Orchis militaris

Description:

This odd pair of military orchids, one white with slight pale rose spots, and the other intense dark rose or pink, was observed in the same growth as the ones in my previous spotting (https://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/16...) - but I found their colours pretty different from all others, who were pale-rose to pale lilac (check the also the one in the bottom right corner).

Habitat:

Found on edges of mixed forest, a small meadow between the forest and road shoulder, growing in a plain light. The forest itself is a protected one, growing on slopes of a smaller mont at the feet of Jura Mountain Range.
