Moghrey mie. That's good morning in Manx.
Ramsey in Bloom, another local event, will be here soon and I thought it was about time I posted more of the flora from the island. After viewing some of the lovely orchids for last weeks ABC (hosted kindly by mrs nesbitt ) on so many bloggers posts, I thought I'd show one too. Orchids though aren't the easiest flowers to find, especially Marsh Orchids. You can hunt for hours for one to no avail and then find one by accident, like this one from the Wildlife Park, Ramsey. Have you noticed you always find the perfect flower to photograph on a windy day? So no tripod, no macro, and a not so gentle a breeze couldn't prevent me from snapping this Marsh Orchid.
Actually I'm not so sure what this is? Can anyone identify it correctly. What kind of Marsh Orchid is it? I googled Marsh Orchids and wow, what a variety. So hard to narrow down and pinpoint using pc images, well it is for the enthusiast, but not expert. I'm confident that in the world of blogging more than one of you stoping by today will be able to help the photographer identify what she's capturing. Of course I'll be sure to give you can mention on fridays post for helping me out.

beautiful picture, with this background blur, I love it highlights the flower.
a wonderful capture of a very beautiful flower
NIce flower, I never see this kind of orchid.
This photo was worth the hike! Beautiful cluster of flowers, and they look so delicate!
I haven't a clue, but so pretty whatever it is.
I wish I could help you out but I'm clueless....but I think it's simply beautiful! Love how you blurred the background and the flower just pops!

Thanks for visiting!
I can't help you out with the identifying, but I'll join the others in saying what a beautiful close-up that is. You'll have us thinking you're a professional! ;)
I've never seen a marsh orchid. This is really lovely.
Wow! This shot took "Louis's" breath away! Absolutely beautiful!
It is a rare "purple and white" orchid. Very pretty.
Beautiful shot! Did it have spotted leaves? It looks like the Heath Spotted Orchid to me.
I'm not sure, but I guess it's what we could call a pretty orchid! :)
I can't help either, but I know one thing for sure - its beautiful.
Lovely, gentle photo :)
What a lovely, lovely flower. Very nice.
I guess it is the angle of the photo but it doesn't look like orchid at all. It looked more like a wild flower that blooms only in Spring.
What a beautiful flower. We have wild orchids here, although presumably not marsh orchids in our climate. I don't know the name of yours but it's lovely.
Great photo.
Amen on the wind and photographing wildflowers.
Thanks for the recent visit and nice comment.
