These orchids have appeared in the last couple of years in our friends' Poole garden. One or two to start, now over a hundred. Sandy soil over clay. Marsh orchids have been suggested by some but disputed by others. Could someone please give a definite ID.
They look like Dactylorhiza fuchsii - the Common Spotted Orchid - to me. Flowers can vary in colour from really pale pink to a deepish purple. I am very envious!
