An unusual dual-coloured Pyramidal Orchid on The Caburn

Pyramidal Orchids, Anacamptis pyramidalis were blooming profusely either side of the footpath from Glynde up to The Caburn today.
One in particular caught my eye.  What an exotic flower this is.



The flower from above.
David Lang, "Wild Orchids of Sussex", describes albinism as uncommon but strikingly beautiful.
Whilst not completely white, the above specimen is really beautiful.
