[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This flower has done much to motivate me to start making more orchid pictures and study them better. always contrasting between pink and green due to their coloring and environment.

This flower is very similar to the Orchis militaris which I will present here soon. The main difference ist that the militaris flowers bottom up, and this Simia Bottom down. Ofthe the "arms" and "legs" on the simia are more delicate, but as many hybrids exist, this is not an easy characteristic to use to separate them
