Slovak Wild Orchids
 

Hello, I was hunting in my neighbourhood today and this is the result... I just hope I recognised them right, so I am not 100% sure the names are correct. Enjoy :blushing:

They're beautiful! Nice photos too.

Very cool. Were the many?

not realy... but enought for my eye :)

It is a little bit early for them, they just started to bloom.

Superb flowers and photos!

Thank you for posting these.

Thanks :)

It is true, the nature here is beautifull. The High Tatras (mountains, can be seen in photos) are our largest mountains, compared to other places in the world they are quite small, but full of life. There are several national parks close to my hometown. TANAP (including High Tatras), NAPANT (Low Tatras) and PIENAP (Pienieny mountains). They all include unique flora and fauna including orchids most of which are endagered species protected by the law.
