Dactylorhiza Sphagnicola F. Calcifugiens

Dactylorhiza sphagnicola f. calcifugiens is a rare orchid species found in specific habitats across northern Europe. This particular form of the plant is adapted to calcareous soils, distinguishing it from its more common relatives. It thrives in moist, shaded environments such as bogs and heaths. Its flowers are typically pink or purple, adding a striking visual element to its natural setting. Due to habitat loss and environmental changes, this plant faces increasing threats to its survival.
