The pyramidal orchids (Anacamptis pyramidalis) are back! This was the first orchid species I learnt how to identify, so it's always a good day when they start flowering again. Their morphology is well adapted for Lepidoptera pollination too 🦋🌸 @europeanorchids.bsky.social

Serapia lingua. S. Vemorecea and two shots of the very special and appealing O. montis-gargani. Now, colloquially known as the horny orchid.

It doesn't get any better than this. This incredible display of purple saxifrage is in the Yorkshire Dales. It's probably Britains' premier site for the species. Yesterday was my first time to visit the site and it was truly awe-inspiring.

As white as the snow on Etna’s peak (which we couldn’t see today due to cloud), an unexpected white Orchis Brancifortii lifted spirits in the unseasonal rain #Sicilia #orchid @duncan-dine.bsky.social @europeanorchids.bsky.social

Beautiful Orchis quadripunctata from an early morning walk. Flyover male Montagu's Harrier and a Nightingale singing behind the house. Vrana, Dalmatia. @europeanorchids.bsky.social

Orchis pauciflora on a scrubby hillside near Vrana, Croatia this morning. Egg yolk yellow and pale lemon, a beautiful combination. Easily one of the loveliest of orchids. @europeanorchids.bsky.social
