Description
Green Winged Orchid (Orchis Morio) - A few inches high this wild orchid is not as exotic as some of the bigger tropical ones, yet I think just as beautiful.
I discovered this one in a meadow near my home when taking my new macro lens out for the first time today. I went out hoping to get bug and butterfly pics but it was cold and rather dull. This charming flower now in serious decline in many parts, brightened my day. I hope it does the same for you.
Many thanks for viewing and any comments left.
Richard.

Lovely little orchid, so often we pass over something beautiful while searching for Bigger things. "I OVERLOOKED AN ORCHID WHILE SEARCHING FOR A ROSE." (old Country-Western song) HUGS!!
