Description
This small (2cm-3/4in) across, but striking beauty pops up randomly at one of my local nature reserves. So easy to overlook or even stand on, if you don't watch your feet. I am sure you will agree a gem amongst our wild flowers, when viewed up close.

Superbe image. Cette orchidée est magnifique. Bravo!!!
What a magic macro. Great presentation. Super shot
Amazing macro.
quite beautiful!
I expect you saw on the news, Kevin, that a non-English speaking contractor mowed right across a small colony of these on a verge somewhere in England as he couldn't understand the sign! I didn't take in where. Any way they'll be OK next year providing it isn't an annual occurrence! An absolutlely superb shot!
Hmm mowing over flowers because you didn't understand the sign????, not rocket science to know the difference betwixt grass an blooms eh?....This is a beautiful capture Kevin, and was certainly worth a zoom
stunning
