Orchids of Ordesa
We didn't see as many orchids as I expected, but still a nice selection.
Black Vanilla Orchid Nigritella nigra in Valle de Otal. I never tire of seeing this little beauty!
Butterfly Orchid Plathanthera bifolia and Elder-flowered Orchid Dactylorhiza sambucina.
Burnt Tip Orchid Orchis ustulata. Also, White Helleborine was quite common, and we saw lots of marsh and spotted orchids.
