That is really very beautiful. Is that native to your area?

Yes, and about 15 other species. Photos above made at about 25 miles from Moscow. We're know Cypripedium's place and will try to find it again this year (last one we were too late)

Last year we're found Epipactis helleborine in Moscow itself :)

Wow, that looks fantastic. And yes, the mottled foliage is a winner, that will give the jewel orchids a run for their money...

Cheers

Gorgeous!
Nice photos also, the bloom have that great orchid-only sparkliness. I wonder why they have that quality and other flowers do not. Anyone know?
