Green-winged Orchids


In a churchyard not a million miles from Cuckfield is a small yet magnificent display of Green-winged Orchids.
The leaves have no spots, (unlike the Early-purple Orchids below) and the flowers' outer segments are striped with green or bronze lines; hence its common name.


To get the flower colour in these pictures more lifelike the colour temperature has been (a bit crudely)  increased.
My great thanks to John Pilkington for his advice on how to set about correcting such flower colouring.
