Could be a Southern or Early Marsh type, Pencil-thick stem is usually a good pointer to Marsh or Hybrid types and you will have to check leaves, bracts and flower shape. Birders that are not botanists often get into Orchids as even the common spp are relatively rare and the the rare ones are the icing on the cake.<br /><br />Best of luck.......<br /><br />Laurie -StourbridgeRantBoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13425410359312882937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-485253392382912486.post-17486857194090410982013-07-10T16:58:25.162+01:002013-07-10T16:58:25.162+01:00Thanks Roy!

Every time I find an Orchid I photograph ...Hi Josh,<br />Every time I find an Orchid I photograph it and then sometimes find that it doesn't quite look like any true variety. I then put it down to being a Hybrid of some kind, as it often happens like this especially if there are lot in the immediate area. This is probably one of those occasions.Roy Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07054701497328213666noreply@blogger.com
