Thanks, nice website! The English seems fine to me. I especially like the piece on the native orchids. I've seen the same orchids in my region, but I didn't know they were so common elsewhere! In French the common name of Orchis mascula the 'male orchis' The Listera is a nice orchid, the flowers are just very very small! I had trouble getting a decent picture of it! As for Pinguicola alpina I have only seen it at high altitude, around 2000-2400 meters.
What other orchids to you see in your region?
