Musk Orchid

Reference: FF53
Location: Noar Hill, Hampshire
Gallery: Flowers (mainly Orchids),

In the UK this rare orchid is now confined to the southern part of England where it lives in short, cropped grass on chalk or limestone. The small size and overall green-yellow colouration would make it difficult to find although it can be in such huge numbers at Noar Hill that it doesn’t take you too long. The name comes from the strong honey scent.
