Title: Orchid Site 3 03-07-2014
Post by: fredg on July 03, 2014, 07:01:30 PM

Orchid Site 3. On this video there are two habitats. The first is a small woodland glade containing the Common Spotted orchid  (Dactylorhiza fuchsii),  the Bee Orchid (Ophrys apifera), and the Common Twayblade (Neottia ovata). The second habitat is an open meadow containing the same three orchids plus the Fragrant Orchid (Gymnadenia conopsea)  These two habitats are within 20 metres of each other.

Hi Fred,

I'd love to watch it but your link sends my computer into a blue screen and memory download. Pity.

The white at the other site is passed videoing. That's the problem with the whites, due to the colour they look terrific whan pristine but start looking shabby much quicker as the bottom flowers brown.
