Hi Everyone,
Need to pick your brains here. I took a photo yesterday of what I was told was a snakes tongue orchid. But when I googled it, the flower it came up with was nothing like this one. It was growing in a grass verge at the side of the road, and a friend of ours has them in his garden.
If you have any ideas please leave a comment below. I'd love to know what they are.
OK, I'm going to answer my own question. I did another Google search and think I've found it. It's a lizard orchid Himantoglossum hircinum. Apparently quite rare in the UK, but more common here.
