Ashridge Chalkland Orchids (pt 1)

We found six species of Orchids on the chalk escarpment around Ivinghoe Beacon over the last two summers. Below are two species:

Firstly, the Bee Orchid

The detail is worth a click for a closer look.
Secondly, the Fragrant Orchid, a number here colonising a bank and perhaps past their best, but still impressive
