Ecomare museum in the Netherlands reports that a rare orchid species has been discovered on Terschelling island recently.
This newly discovered spot along a footpath is the most northern place where this flowering plant, the lizard orchid, grows.
Earlier, the few places in the Netherlands where one could find lizard orchids were all in the southern half of the country.
