I found this same one over the weekend but near Barnsley and apparently as we are both just slightly above the middle of the country we are lucky and get both the Southern and the Northern Marsh orchids. You can tel the difference by the shape of the flower as the northern ones have a much flatter squarer top to them than these :-)
You are welcome, Daniel, it was no problem, we have the similar orchid in Croatia, just searched UK datebase :D btw, nice spotting, love orchids...
Thanks for the ID Jopy!
Thanks Viv for the key website - will definitely come in handy!
Hi Daniel! I found this website http://www.floralimages.co.uk/default.ph... very useful for identifying British native plants. : ) Beautiful orchid!
