Beautiful Now I am wondering this is meadow.

Maybe, meadow is not right. we have those limehills with poorsoil, and dry, stony, that is the one place, where this orchid was. By time it is covered with orchids, anemone sylivatica and cowslips, with gentiana in autumn. Afew kilometers further, on the top of the mountain, there is the "meadow", a swampy, grassy place, with orchis latifolia, kingcups and boule d´or and others of course. We had a relatively hard winter in Germany, and everything is like explosing.
