Dactylorhiza spp.

I was out orchid hunting today, and found a nice group of orchids. I'm not familiar with the species growing in the Netherlands, but I do know that it is some sort of Dactylorhiza. I'm thinking that it might be the Southern Marsh orchid, Dactylorhiza praetermissa. Looks a lot like it, they are found in the Netherlands, and I found these at the edge of a marsh. Or it could be a natural hybrid, since Dactylorhiza orchids hybridize quite easily.

Does anyone have an idea of what it might be?

No idea what it is Camille, but it is really pretty.

It's so great to see pics of them growing in the wild like that.
