Apparently the Orchis simia; Monkey Orchid is a very rare species!

It's a terrestrial British wildflower restricted to three sites, one on the Chiltern Downs in Buckinghamshire, the other two in Kent.

Not likely to find it for sale here in American, I am thinking but I'll keep looking.

I struck out too. . .I think these would be dang difficult to grow. Think it thrives in a very specific, wild, bog environment or some such.

Ah, well, just have to enjoy the photo which is HILARIOUS!

Thanks so much for hunting with me, Dorothy!
