Coralroot Orchid

Coralroot Orchid is a small, rather inconspicuous plant. It is not common, but probably overlooked, occuring in damp woodlands and dune slacks.

I have been observing a small colony of this rather unusual plant for a number of years. It is growing in a wet woodland close to my home near Loch Ness. The tallest flower spikes I have seen are about 15 cms in height.
