Thanks to Phillipe and Jeroen for the ID!

Fragrant Orchid (Gymnadenia conopsea) is a flower that has a scent similar to cloves. It has a distinctive three lobed lip and long spurs, similar to Aquilegia. The leaves are lanceolate and narrow.

This species' habitat includes lime, grassland, and fens throughout northern Europe where it flowers in the summer, from June to July.

it looks like gymnadenia conopsea to me, fragrant orchid in english, hope that helps

Picturewise there is a lot of clutter and harsh light i guess

cheers
JEroen

Well they say ones mans trash is anothers treasure:-) So what some might see as clutter might just be the environment which is important, and out of focus as it should be leaving the flora as sharp and well saturated as can be! Fine shot....Let me know when you post once more...I shall look through more of your fine work!

Hello Ena.

fine picture as overall. Good colors, good saturation and good contrast, sharpness is acceptable. One point, with your authorization: in my opinion, the background is too much precise ; and so, we loose the main purpose of this photography.

That said, it remains a nice picture evidently.

Concerning the name, I think that is is Gymnadenia conopsea, as indicated by Belgerdy ; you can also have a look here (with many information on the orchis) : http://www.apercufloresuisse.info/gymnadenia_conopsea_337.htm, and, also there :http://www.tela-botanica.org/eflore/BDNFF/4.02/nn/30681/illustration.

Hope to see you another time on treknature.

All the best.

Philippe.

Bonjour Ena,

Très belle orchidée!

Il me semble que c'est un tout petit peu flou, non?

J'aime beaucoup les orchidées "naturelles".

Hi Ena, Looks like your are more interested in flowers :-), Good capture and colors i would have preferred a much more diffused BG by going a bit lower to record this wonderful orcid.

Odlična fotografija, lijepo pokazuje biljku i stanište u kojem obitava :)
Pozdrav, Dario

p.s. u svoj album sam stavio jednu orhideju bi li mi mogla pomoć s indetifikacijom :)
