Albino Lady Orchid Orchis purpurea

An "arty" image of the Lady Orchid Orchis purpurea photographed in Kent. This plant is another example of an uncommon variant that lacks anthocyanin pigments leading to a green coloured hood and the absence of red lip marking.

I have an especial interest in this type of variant Lady Orchid and the subtle differences shown by mutants found within different populations and locations around Europe.

I have published a small article on this variation in the Journal of the Hardy Orchid Society and a web adapted version can be viewed in the Articles section.
