Pyramidal, Fragrant and Common-spotted Orchids in flower now.


The aptly named Pyramidal Orchid is flowering now.  These pictures taken yesterday on the South Downs.
 
Fragrant Orchids have a very different shape and your nose will confirm the plant.  To me the scent is exquisite.
 
Common spotted-Orchids above can be very varied in their colour making a fine show -- although starting to set seed now.
