Do you think this is a Pyramidal

[birderbryan]

I had this yesterday at a old sand and gravel pit in Lancashire. It was growing close to the footpath and about 50 ft away from where a single pyramidal grows as a rule (but not this year). In the close immediate vicinity there is lots of varied Common Spotted Orchid, being strangled with a sort of "horsetail" waterflush plant.

What made me think this could be a albi pyramidal, was first the flower shape, and then the crook in the stem, and the bamboo sheath leaves on the stem, and also on the lip of the flower there is the bent over sides.

I would be interested in any help anyone can give. I have now attached several photos.

Cheers,
Birderbryan

Very difficult to see any detail in the white flower, but I would say, 'yes', an albino Pyramidal Orchid. Nice find.

Think this is actually an albino Common Spotted. There's typical Common Spotted orchids in your wide angle shot aswell.

Well spotted Mike, I didn't even notice that photo!
Yes, Common Spotted.
