Bee Orchid var. chlorantha and others at Holme Dunes

While viewing the fantastic display of Bee Orchids Ophrys apifera at Holme Dunes today I spotted two plants of the variety chlorantha. The flowers of this variety lack the red-brown pigments, having white sepals and a greenish-yellow lip.




In another slack were two enormous hybrid orchid plants (Common Spotted x Marsh)
