One of my favourite British orchids to find. This one was a composite of two focus points to give me sufficient dof to cover the open flowers.

Simply beautiful, this is a flower I've never seen before despite searching for it on the limestone grasslands of the Cotswolds where it is supposed to grow
Thanks; don't give up Ed, they are small and easily missed. If you know roughly where they should be found, November is when you can locate the leaf rosettes of next years flowers - assuming they survive the winter and rabbits. If you imagine looking end on to a dark green 'rolled' tongue, within another rolled tongue... etc that's what they look like!
Am impressed by your portfolio of marvelous nature shots btw. Some amazing butterfly images, a few of which I haven't had the pleasure of seeing in person. The marbled white was a new one for me this year.
