| | | old orchids
I found these old orchids growing on a chalk down in the south (wiltshire). I think but am not sure that the first one is an old bee orchid (could be something else because it doesnt quite look right but we have had bee orchids here before) and the second is... well my first thought was an old fly orchid but it could be an old man orchid... help please

Pic one looks like a possible dead common spotted. Pic two looks like a stalk and three looks like a dead butterfly orchid, possibly greater.

I'm not very good at identifying orchids, but I was wondering about Common Twayblade for the first one,
