How many plants of "Ophrys phryganae" like plants can you find in here? (I say this because they are kind of difficult to detect...)

The orchis are so cool. Like little people with big Easter bonnets. Even if they do have ......ya know......
 
Wow, what a splendid view into your world!! I love the O. italica especially - not only do they look like little men, the even have ding-dongs :rollhappy: how funny is that!

Thanks for posting these.

I'm very jealous of all those natives in flower! very nice pictures. our first ones won't be out until maybe may 10th, and even then though nice not many look that nice
 
Gilda I saw her on the flower and I quickly took the picture before she moves....! ;) She was too slow for me...hehehehehe!

Charles, imagine that these have started flowering approximatelly one month earlier than last year...!
