Default Bee orchid ?

Jenny Thanks for the link, that's a good likeness, previously I
only had Keeble-Martin and the small pics didnt show very well the
differences between two Spider, a Fly and the Bee orchid.

Des it is the first time in 30y at this house ! Hmmm, mind u, I might
have mown others down without realising :-!( It isnt exactly a
striking thing till you get down on hands and knees !
We get good displays of a pyramid orchid each year, less so recently
with the increased rabbit population that seem to like the emerging
flower spikes
It sounds a bit too random hit&miss to contemplate assisting its
propagation ??

Pictures were taken with an old elcheapo webcam through a magnifying
lens, hence the short focal depth.
