Killenallan Dunes Orchids.

In between recording stromatolites Tom and Steve took time out to look for orchids in the dunes at Killinallan - damp, but splendid! 

Dune slack; looking towards Gortantoid.

Top: early marsh orchid, common spotted, pyramidal and frog, bottom: frog, possible pugsley's marsh orchids. 
Pyramidal variants.


Marsh helleborines...

Frog orchid in abundance
