Only in one place near the local river I find this most beautiful Common Spotted-orchid Dactylorhiza fuchsii growing amongst the tall grasses. You can see in the image below why they chose this particular vernacular name for it.

I like it that both the leaves and flowers are spotted. The first shot is my favorite but I generally prefer horizontal to vertical. I like the grouping of three especially with the center one a head taller.

Thank you, David 🙂 I prefer horizontal, too, but I wanted to try and get all the flower in with the leaves to try and show the whole plant.
