Yesterday we visited one of our Belgian nature reserves with the Flemish Rock Garden Society.
'Torfbroek' is a calcareous swamp of about 40 hectares.
We saw some interesting plants growing there:
Dactylorhiza fuchsii
Gymnadenia conopsea
Epipactis palustris
Epipactis palustris var. ochroleuca
Epipactis palustris and Epipactis palustris var. ochroleuca together
Drosera rotundifolia
and Anagallis tenella

Very nice Wim. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, John,
it's a shame we were too late to see Ophrys apifera, Rhinanthus minor and Valeriana dioica in bloom! And a bit too early to see Parnassia palustris in flower....but you can't have it all ;)

Wild orchids are already a first choice Wim ;)
