    Thank you Kildale.

    The Dactylorhiza are beginning now. This one's a garden bred hybrid of unknown name:

    Yes, it does rather. :D Every bloom is small but the mass of them makes it stand out anyway. We've got several varieties of wild Dactylorhiza in Norway ranging from rather pale purple, almost pink, to dark purple, and they're a sight when they bloom in the ditches by the roads.

    When I scrolled by that purple plant I quickly scrolled back. I exclaimed out loud"Oh my word,what is this?.
    I then noticed it is out of my range.
    Awfully pretty.
