Western marsh orchid

Dactylorhiza (majalis?)

Description:

The seven to forty blossoms are colored purplish red, rarely light pink or white. It blooms in May-June. I think it different from my spotting for D. purpurellla because of the leaves with brown spots but I am not sure of the species.

Habitat:

Found in Keen of Hamar but also in other parts of Unst.
