Yet another orchid, this time the Common Spotted Orchid (Dactylorhiza fuchsii). The Common Spotted Orchid is Britains most common orchid and can be found growing in all sorts of habitats. Being common doesn't make it any less beautiful or any less of a treat to see. There were about a dozen in this hazel coppiced woodland, all looking healthy. It's still early into their flowering season, June to August, so keep your eyes open as there's plenty of time to catch a glimpse of them.
