I wonder why it's called a Northern Marsh Orchid - I found one in Cornwall recently.

That is beautiful. And it just grows wild?

It is a nice bit of color in a green setting. Lovely.

It took me a long time to find out that plants like these had flowers. The first time I ever found one, the flowers were all gone. I had no idea what I was looking at. It was fun finding out later.

Very pretty! I don't know if I have come across one of those before.
