My favourite monocot reflects my upbringing in Connemara, Ireland. It is the Common spotted orchid Dactylorhiza fuchsii (Orchidaceae). It is a beautiful flower which always amazed me when I happened upon it. It may appear modest in comparison with its exotic relatives, but in flower its simplicity is a thing of great beauty.
