[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This plant, from mount Gargano (Italy), long considered to be O. melena, is most probably an undescribed species of the O. subfusca group. It is pollinated by the bee Andrena vulpecula when, in Greece, the pollinator of O. melena is Andrena transitoria.
The plant has not yet been formally described but could perhaps belong to O. numida

Lovely!

Loos somewhat like O. lutea with a bigger labellum.

Cheers!
