I have some doubts about id of this terrestrial orchid shot from Chakrata…
Though this looked to me like Herminium lanceum, still I feel the flowers are more numerous, if that is any significant difference.. inputs required from the experts..


This is actually normal Herminium lanceum.

Beautiful as usual !
I keep wondering about the effort it takes to go to the plants and trees, efforts it takes to shoot them and effort it takes to process and organise those images.
…, what you are doing is superhuman ! 


Thank you …! As we are in the same line I understand the difficulties to reach the location, devotion of time, money spent and sometimes risking life even. But I am enjoying since it is my passion now, however I find it difficult to reach to the alpine areas due to my knee problem.
