Fragrant Orchids in Sussex today

Fragrant Orchids were abundant today on the South Downs and their scent in intoxicating.
This one was growing happily in long grass and was magnificent.
Above is one growing next to a Common-spotted Orchid for comparison.
Above, another Fragrant Orchid with Common-spotted ones behind.
This time last week there were few.  Now they are abundant.  How I love the Downs.  The flora is ever changing and in Spring and Summer is always lovely.
