Wild orchid #2
This is the other wild orchid growing in our garden. The leaves appear to be the same shape as the other one, but the colour is different, and the sepals on this one are shorter. This one stands about a foot high, and grows in the ground by our other willow igloo which is also home to a family of blackbirds.
Here it is large. The flowers at the bottom have turned brown and will soon set seed. Hopefully we'll have more next year.
Still trying to find out what orchids they are.
p.s.
Progress! A gardening friend has identified these terrestrial orchids as Epipactis or Helleborines.
