err no idea what this is - i admit my instinct thought was a sun-dried bog orchid but im almost certain that it isnt. I found it growing on mossy hummocks on a heath in the New Forest. There was a whole patch of it...

You need to get to the new forest (or bog of choice!) in July to really see this plant in all its beauty! One of my favourites.... |
