Default Bee orchid ?

Any comment upon the leaf colours of your D. and A. thingumies ?

Common spotted have mid-green, very distinctly spotted leaves at the
base of the plant. Pyramidal leaves are slightly paler, but narrower,
no spots, much more upright and they noticeably sheath the stem quite a
distance up it. This image (not mine) shows its characteristics quite
well. http://tinyurl.com/2kmajh
