In Saaremaa, spotting orchids is relatively easy. A short ten-minute walk from the center of Kuressaare takes you to the Roomassaare Peninsula, where the juniper-filled fields are home to an abundance of heath spotted orchids (<em data-start=\"311\" data-end=\"334\">Dactylorhiza maculata<\/em>). If you travel a few kilometers from Kuressaare towards S\u00f5rve, you will reach Loode Oak Forest, where you can admire the blooming of the magnificent lady\u2019s slipper (<em data-start=\"501\" data-end=\"524\">Cypripedium calceolus<\/em>). Loode Oak Forest is also home to the burnt orchid (<em data-start=\"578\" data-end=\"595\">Orchis ustulata<\/em>) and several other rare orchid species. Did you know that Saaremaa has its very own unique orchid species\u2014the Saaremaa marsh orchid (<em data-start=\"732\" data-end=\"764\">Dactylorhiza osiliensis Pikner<\/em>)? This species was discovered by Saaremaa orchid expert Tarmo Pikner, adding another natural gem to the island\u2019s rich biodiversity.<\/p><p data-start=\"900\" data-end=\"1363\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Saaremaa\u2019s natural environment is truly special.
