Hello Anita,
Nice to see you back again and with a fine fresh capture from Italy! This is a beautiful bunch of Ophrys in a pretty meadow. I like its colours and details are very sharp. A lovely summer composition!
TFS and best wishes, Ulla

Hi Anita,

Welcome back!

Lovely Ophrys, not unlike our Ophrys holosericea, but with white petals.

Please have a look at my recent orchid postings, if you have a free moment...

Cheers!

Ishi

Bonjour Anita
je ne connais les pouilles qu'en septembre, lorsque les pelouses et garrigues sont totalement desséchées. Tu as du faire de splendides découvertes au printemps, comme ce très bel ophrys.
Amicalement
Hervé
