Hi Timerine,

yes your IDs are correct :) They are both fairly plentiful in the UK in chalky and limestone areas, especially towards the south of the country.

Common Spotted-orchids on the cliffs at Morfa Nefyn, took the photo with 500mm reflex as I didn't fancy climbing the cliff, quite a few of this type on the cliffs yesterday.
