I've marked this down as reasonably difficult to find (for me anyway) although it is one of the commonest of the orchid family. The reason is that it is very well camouflaged in its usual grassland habitat  As with Bee Orchid and Frog Orchid you have to "get you eye in" before you are aware that there are many of them around you.
