Southern Marsh Orchids

Southern Marsh Orchids - Dactylorhiza praetermissa.

Heading out this evening to practice my technique for the great event this weekend, so I've chosen this group of Southern Marsh Orchids from last weekend as it's not a bad shot of this species in an environmental context, but more importantly, captures the atmosphere early on Sunday morning perfectly.

This was a tricky site for orchids - lots of common spotted and southern marsh, but since these species hybridise freely, I suspect some of my shots are of hybrids, quite possibly including these. Still like this shot though.
