Orchids at Slyne Head

A selection of ten different species of orchids down in Truska, Slyne Head from today and Friday. It's the only site in Connemara that I've seen Marsh Helleborine, Marsh Fragrant Orchid and Frog Orchid. There are at least five other orchid species that can also be found growing earlier/later in the season in the same area.
