Could anybody comment on identifications for the following, all photographed in the Wengen area, Swiss Alps, in early July.
Of course, they might not be dactylorhizas at all.

no 4 is not a Dactylorhiza but a Pedicularis
I can't tell you what they are, however, it is a difficult matter even in Norway with relatively few species.

Many thanks, Hoy. The flower put a dactylorhiza in mind but the foliage jarred with that identification.

1,2,3 and 5 looks like Dactylorhiza fuchsii
probably the last pict shows Dactylorhiza alpestris ( majalis ssp. alpestris)
it`s easier to ID when flowers + leaves and habitat are shown

Too late Paddy!
Gerhard has taken the words from my mouth ... but in the correct order!

The Pedicularis is verticillata (the photo is excellent and shows the leaves in whorls on the stem).
