Did you check the labellum calli? The leaves in the first image are quite round so C. turfosa is a possibility. The general appearance of the plant in the second image looks more like valida.

Unfortunately I was a bit late for the season as most flowers were dead and closed so I couldn't see any calli. The habitat was certainly not at all boggy but definitely something to check out next season. It would be interesting to see C. turfosa.

Surprisingly most of the turfosa I have seen has actually been growing on the slopes next to a bog.
