Orchid family (Orchidaceae)

There are not so many native species but sometimes they can be locally abundant.
Orchids are fascinating plants and very populair amongst wild flower enthusiasts. That's why I give them a little extra attention here. Especially with the variable species I will try to show you the diversity within one species.

There is a fantastic book about the Dutch orchids. On www.kreutz.info you wild learn more about that book and other European orchids.

Prachtige foto's!

Sommige soorten zou ik ook nog wel in Nederland willen vinden en fotograferen...
