Orchids on the South Downs are just wonderful....and orchids in a shady wood are different. They are very much taller and where else could you get a classy shot of a white Common spotted orchid with a dark background juxta-positioned with a red campion... in the spot light of a sun beam?
Just look at these stately beauties!
Awesome or what?
The photographic possibilities with dappled sunlight are wonderful.
What a week of beauties.
I have travelled a lot this week and will only confirm that this wood is still in Sussex.
