Hello, I was hunting in my neighbourhood today and this is the result... I just hope I recognised them right, so I am not 100% sure the names are correct. Enjoy

Gymnadenia conopsea:

Neottia nidus-avis:

Coeloglossum viride:

And this storm was hunting me (panorama of High Tatras):

Very nice. Your part of Europe still has some large wild places with nice flora and fauna. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Thanks

It is true, the nature here is beautifull. The High Tatras (mountains, can be seen in photos) are our largest mountains, compared to other places in the world they are quite small, but full of life. There are several national parks close to my hometown. TANAP (including High Tatras), NAPANT (Low Tatras) and PIENAP (Pienieny mountains). They all include unique flora and fauna including orchids most of which are endagered species protected by the law.

If you find some time you check it here: The Tatra Mountains | Tatra National Park
Národný park Nízke Tatry - Low Tatras National Park
