Dragon's mouth orchid (Arethusa bulbosa) and habitat

Two more photos of the regionally rare native, wild orchid, the dragon's mouth. The top photo shows the fen habitat it grows in, which in turn is bordering a lake. Access is difficult, through knee deep mud and water in a black ash swamp, before getting to the fen. Hopefully, the difficult access (no trails), will keep this site from being damaged or developed.

Orchid "hunting" is always exciting :-)
Well presented its special shape and environment.

These local orchids are mostly very beautiful. The same here in my region.
