Last weekend I took a walk across the forest and bogs near my summer house. Sorry, I can’t please your eyes with CP in habitat, but I met some rather rare native orchids, that could be interesting (I know that there are some orchid-growers at this forum).
Dactylorhiza fuchsii
I like this plant very much. As much as I sorry that all attempts to grow it in gardens are unsuccessful. (Of cause, I don’t mean my attempts, all I took are its photos :) )
Platanthera bifolia
This plant is disappearing now. I believe that it’s a temptation to pick up a bunch of such flowers – they look small and simply, but they have a very strong odour. It was its luck that it smells only at night, and it was just a morning. So it still grows there :)
And two photos of the place where I hoped to find sundews. It is typical habitat, I think, or am I wrong? This is a sphagnum/grass bog. (Tracks belong to wild boar or elk. First I thought that it’s a bear because all ant hills around was scattered)
And all the sundews neighbors are here.
In winter I’m going to enjoy bilberry jam.
PS. I hope you can understand my strange English.
