| | | Unidentified Orchid
Hello all - I've just been going through some old photographs (taken in June 2006) and found this orchid, which was taken on a nature reserve near Telford. I've looked in my wildflower book and the nearest I can get is maybe the Early Marsh Orchid? Can anyone help me out with this? And is the one in the second shot the same flower or a different species?    |

Have a look in the Gallery. I think you'll find a match.

The first picture looks like Early Marsh D.incarnata pulchella to me. Can't really see enough of the second to say whether it is the same.
All the best

Hi jezlee,
Finally someone from Wolverhampton has appeared!  
If you're in Wolverhampton itself can I just recommend Baggeridge Country Park (you probably know it) - it has 5 species of orchid there and I've been observing them there for around 6 years now - definately worth a visit!
Mike
