Wildflower ID ?
« on: June 26, 2011, 22:00 »
Hi

On a verge in Fort William, I saw this flower, I assume an orchid, but knowing me I'm wrong.

Can anyone ID it for me ?

Thanks, spotty. :)

An Early Purple Orchid, orchis masculata I think.

Fabulous photo so you can really see the flower detail.

Agree with gillie that it is an Early Purple Orchid  :D

Agree too. :) We have them growing all over the SSSI piece of land behind our house. :D

Hi

Thank you for the replies. They just looked so pretty & I'd never seen anything like it before.

I do have another plant to ID, need to take pictures, O/H's weed really, he wouldn't let me pull it up as it looked pretty.

Will post pic's at the weekend.

Many thanks again.  :D
