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.
