We were trudging through ankle deep water, a
shortcut back to the car. Ah! another Onion, shall we look, why they
all look the same to me - perhaps it won't be a notched, but something
different. We took the standard photos as it did look somewhat
different. This has prompted the purchase of a small botany
magnifying glass to see the flower properly. This purchase has saved
countless other discussions on orchid identity.
Back on the computer it was obvious that we had indeed found a new one,
the Common Onion Orchid.
