Gymnadenia conopsea

Gymnadenia conopsea, commonly known as the Fragrant Orchid (or Chalk Fragrant Orchid), is a terrestrial orchid found across much of Europe. It is notable for its long, narrow spike of pink or lilac flowers, and its extremely long and slender spur (often longer than the ovary). This species is highly valued for its intense, sweet fragrance, often described as being like cloves or vanilla. It grows in damp calcareous meadows and mountain pastures.
