Burnt-tip Orchids

Reference: FF65
Location: Martin Down NNR, Hampshire
Gallery: Flowers (mainly Orchids),

One of the earliest orchids of chalk downland and perhaps the prettiest and certainly one of the rarest. There are several groups of Burnt-tip Orchids on this part of the reserve and as they’re on the short turf of a path getting a lovely bokeh effect is relatively easy by shooting down low with a long lens.
