Description
More from the Hardington grasslands reserve, Somerset UK. Im afraid my knowledge of Orchids both wild or tamed is limited. I'm sure someone out there will fill me in on detail. I do know that the globule on the underside of the focussed Orchid is Greenfly larvae, which, when i was a kid was always known as Cuckoo spit.

Magic picture.
Super pic! Cuckoo spit actually contains not aphid but a little insect called a leafhopper who froths it up to hide in. if you clear the froth you can get a pic of him!
Nice flowers!
Very beautiful image. Wonderful soft colors and light. Fantastic details too. Excellent shot!
Much stronger looking than there domestic conterpart - still very impressive
Beautiful orchids Alan. I must admit I don't know much about them either, but they sure are pretty.
Great shot Alan. Thats cuckoo spit to me too.
A beautiful photo, and a great find , Alan. I guess it is the 'Dactylorhiza maculata' But you can look at this side. http://www.puechdebar.nl/orchidee.htm (sorry, it is in Dutch)
