Hi, I would really appreciate some help with identifying these orchids, I think I have a couple of them ID'd ok but then I began having doubts and I'm really not sure on Orchid2. If someone could have a look at them that'd be great
I photographed the first two at Gait Barrows NR in Lancashire earlier in the month
Orchid1 Common Spotted Orchid Dactylorhiza fuchsii
Orchid2 ?????
These two were taken at Birkdale Dunes on the Sefton Coast, Merseyside last week. These larger flowers spikes were among the masses of Early Marsh Orchid. I think they're NMO.
Orchid3 Northern Marsh Orchid Dactylorhiza purpurella
Orchid4 Northern Marsh Orchid Dactylorhiza purpurella
