[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note

This orchid grows to around 20 cm to 50 cm but specimens up to 70 cm can be found which makes it generally taller than the Heath Spotted-orchid (Dactylorhiza maculata) with which it is often confused. The lip of the Common Spotted-orchid has an exaggerated central tooth. Provided the soil conditions are calcareous the Common Spotted-orchid can pop up almost anywhere, in dune slacks, meadows and on roadside verges.
