| | | Fragrant Orchid
Here's what i'm pretty sure is a Fragrant Orchid.I was 100% sure,but i just looked it up on an orchid website & that said the flowers are usually pink or sometimes white.But as you can see here the flowers are more purply.So if someone could give me 100% thumbs up that this is a Fragrant Orchid.It would be much appreciated.
Cheers

Yep that is a Fragrant Orchid (Gymnadenia conopsea). The very long slender spur is a good clue. |

Hello canonman,that's an interesting question.That i can't answer,lol.
I suffer from hayfever so i try to avoid smelling any flowers & my nose is so snotty i probably wouldn't smell anything anyway,lol.
Hopefully someone with a bit more knowledge & a better nose,will be able to tell us.
