Bonjour Anita,
Quelle chance ! C'est une espèce très rare, absente du continent, qui n'est présente en France qu'en quelques points de Corse. Très amateur de Serapias, j'espère la voir un jour. La Sardaigne constitue un secteur important pour sa distribution. Est-ce que tu l'as trouvée facilement et abondamment?
Amicalement,
Hervé

That's an orchid?! I would have never guessed. So what is the distinguishing characteristic of an orchid?

Gorgeous capture!

Hello Anita

I love looking at these exotic flowers.I always have fun seeing things in them.This one looks like a swan with it's big beak open.The focus is very good with lots of sharp details.The lighting is well managed with natural colours.TFS
