Pics taken at Durlston Country Park in Dorset- just south of Swanage.    There are lots of the Early Spider Orchids there at the moment.  The Early Purples and Green Winged are only starting to come out.

Beautiful photos and beautiful orchids. I must admit I do like seeing orchids in their natural environment - the potted ones available are exotic but we have so many native ones, albeit somewhat rare these days. Where did you see those ones?

Look 3 posts up and location is all explained.    I will be going back to Durlston somewhen- its a lovely place to visit.    Apart from the orchids there are literally thousands of Cowslips there as well.
