Thank you Leif mate! I agree, so incredibly frail and beautiful! Not something I'd ever considered finding so close to home
BTW- Was in Wilts this weekend, I was tempted to go to some hotspots but there were loads of mad hippies hugging Stonehenge so the traffic was well bad!  |

Yes, that's a stunning shot Nick! I saw masses of Pyramidal Orchids at a nearby site at the weekend (I'm lucky to live where they are quite common), but none of my shots were anywhere near as good as that. |

A lovely photo of a lovely flower Nick. I was chuffed to find my first Lancs one last summer.

Nick | There are a few locations in Norfolk for the pyramidal. It is known to grow in various Church grounds for instance.
Great shot btw... | | | |
