An orchid hybrid

Many orchid hybrids have been recorded in Britain.  This is one I found at Holme Dunes yesterday.  It is Common Spotted-orchid Dactylorhiza fuchsia x Southern Marsh-orchid Dactylorhiza praetermissa.  Those with prominent ring spots on their leaves are sometimes known as Leopard Marsh-orchids.  Most hybrid plants, like this one, are very robust specimens.
