Maj-Gøgeurt/Marsh-Orchid

Orchis Majalis



Maj-Gøgeurt (Cuckoo-herb) is blooming at the same time as the cuckoo's arrival and cuckoo call; it's the most common species in the wild orchid-flora in Denmark; in spring it is decorating moors, moist meadows and forests with its flower spikes in shades of red.
