Default Some wild orchids in the Netherlands
Today I went for a very long walk with sole the purpose of finding orchids. It was a successful afternoon! Not quite sure of the ID other that they are Dactylorhiza. Need to look up the species in my book at home in France. I think that some are the marsh orchid.

Some growing in the marsh

Some of the hundreds of orchids that were there




I kinda went overboard with the pics!

Really pretty! I love these.

Where I saw them in the UK there were a couple of species growing and the ones I saw were most likely natural hybrids. Not sure if yours are likely to be hybrids as well. Guess it depends if there is one or more species in the same area.

Beautiful clear pics! I like the spider on the orchid. That is a very nice species. Thanks for sharing.
