Wild Orchids

I know nothing about orchids except that, this year, we've had an incredible display of the most beautiful wild ones. Here are just a few....







I tried looking them up in the Dactylorhiza (marsh orchid) section of "Wild Flowers of Britain and Northern Europe" but couldn't find anything quite like them, so I've named this new species Dactylorhiza ardnamurchensis.
