A few pictures of Orchis mascula taken on a field trip today with my friend daveyp1970  ;D
I hope I've caught some of the variance the species shows on this site.

It must be grand to see these lovely plants in a natural environment, Fred and Davey.... I hope it remains a good site for them for a very long time!

That'll be a treat for the rest of us to look forward to..... thanks, Davey.
I'm surprised at these you have shown us being out already... they must take off at some speed as soon as the weather improves a bit.
