Northern Marsh Orchid (Dactylorhiza purpurella) A fine specimen of one of the commoner orchid species. This is the first time I have seen one just here, although I've been passing this spot frequently for the last 20 years.

Edit: still there three years on <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4604370">NJ2155 : Northern Marsh Orchid (Dactylorhiza purpurella)</a>.

Edit: thanks to farming contractors driving over the spot in the winter before last, it seems that it has been destroyed.
