Dactylorhiza fuchsii
Dactylorhiza fuchsii is a common species of orchid found in much of Europe, with the range extending eastward into Siberia, Mongolia and Xinjiang. It is widely variable in colour, and it ranges from 15 to 60 cm in height. This specimen was photographed near Mariazell, Austria.Photograph: Uoaei1

Picture with leaves would be better

[edit]

Isn't is so that e.g. Dactylorhiza baltica flowers are near identical or totally identical (given variation) with Dactylorhiza fuchsii here, and sole difference and possibility to determine species without special equipment is looking at leaves? One of them has spots, or more spots, other has lesser or fewer... D. baltica has more, but smaller and D. fuchsii has bigger? Anyways, flowers are just pretty, but full picture would be more useful.
