Lizard Orchid

Roche à Lomme, Viroinval, Belgium (June, 2016).
Found at the top of a rocky hill, with stems that may have been of up to half m tall. The flowers are pale and greenish, with delicate pink spots and stripes. They have curly frills that dangle down from the flower spike as a 'tail'. The spikes themselves are tall and stately and sometimes carry as many as 80 densely packed flowers. The oval leaves at the base of the plant soon wither.
