This is the first of my Orchids to flower this Spring. Green winged Orchid (Orchis Morio) is native to the UK but becoming scarce. It should open tomorrow.

Hello Peter. Terrestrial Orchids vary greatly. Some will grow flower and die within a couple of years, others persist taking up to fifteen years to flower and keep on flowering for years. This one I have had for four years.
