Re: Orchids.....

Distinguishing between greater and lesser butterfly orchids is usually done by looking at the pollinia - the stalked bits which end in a yellow blob.

The pollinia in yours are slightly divergent so it's definitely maybe a Greater but possibly not perhaps.

On the other hand it might not be...

But it could really.
