I like hiking, and I've always got my camera with me. I choose my destinations carefully in order to meet rare plants in their natural habitat. Pinguicula vulgaris is actually a quite common butterwort, if you know where to find them. Here's some pics from my last trip , enjoy!
The panorama of the Beskid Wyspowy mountains, southern Poland. A beautiful place to hike with a flora rich in rare species

They are very striking plants:

The plants grow at 1100m above the sea level, on a wet, muddy grassland
Dactylorhiza maculata, a wild orchid (quite common plant)
And the lesser-butterfly orchid, Platanthera bifolia
