Thank you all for kind words. Now wherever I go I make full photographic report.
But I must admit that I forgot to show you flowering meadows in Tatra mountains full of Crocus scepusiensis. But I will repair that tiny oversight.
Maggi, you pointed on my best photo I took wile this trip. The sharpness of flowers is as sharp as razor... And it is funny, because the photo was taken from a hand and in forest. Other photos that were taken in open area are not so good. I also must add that I really do not understand yet my camera, even after over 7000 done photos. Usually shy are "burned", they are too bright. If The ground is good colours the shy are to bright, when the shy are good, the ground is too dark. I even bought a special filter and even that didn't help much. But this day the ground and sky are colourfully perfect. I was really happy of that.

Adarby, it is an amazing place. It is kept in secret, because as you saw there are many precious and very rare species. Many "pseudo-growers" would like to have one in their garden.
Wile my visit I found two square wholes after something being dug out. When my friend went there next day, he found three fresh wholes. I also have found a fresh fire place and orchids around it... My friend told me he dug out all the orchids near it and moved to other place.
I do not understand those people. It would be cheaper to buy these plants than digging out two and paying so much for fuel.

Well done Krzysztof
We are happy to see such nice plants and good photos. You had a lot on the link that people here would have loved to see so I hope they have a look at the link.
Nice to see different orchids in their wild habitats from all over Europe. I hope we will see it from all over the world. (I think we have seen some from the souther hemisphere but I am always happy to see more.
Kind regards
Joakim
