Orchis Militaris, very similar to the Orchis Simia posted here:
http://www.treknature.com/viewphotos.php?l=3&p=211903
Only as you can see the top flowers of this one haven't opened yet, which makes it an Orchis militaris, even tho the lobes look like the lobes of those on an Orchis Simia. In fact due to the fact that both species are present on this location it may well be an hybrid

Hello Jeroen,
A lovely sharp close-up of the Military Orchid. Beautiful natural colours too and a fine soft background. We have the same species here in south Sweden too in small numbers.
TFS and regards, Ulla

Hi Jeroen . You have taken such a fine colourful picture with sharp focusing and detail of this beautiful Orchid. It stands out so well from the plain green Bg. well done TFS.
Nick..

Hi Jeroen
A lovely variation whatever it is - and you were lucky to find it in such perfect condition. Well exposed and a good DOF to show the intricate details of the flower spike.
Kind Regards
Vinny

Amazing colours Jeroen! Such a lovely shot, complemented with a perfectly blurred plain green background, nice focus and exposure. Perfect one!

Bonjour Jeroen,
Très belle macro valorisant bien le sujet par l'appréciation de la finesse des détails et de la délicatesse des couleurs grâce à un bonne maitrise des hautes lumières.
A bientôt sur TN pour de nouvelles aventures.
Gérard
