[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
We found two specimens of this nice orchid 17 Km S of Kemer in a Pinus brutia forest. The name of this species was changed several times and now it is - Anacamptis morio ssp. syriaca. I still use the older, easier name. The changes and sometime inflation of wild orchid names is very difficult to follow. Every book has a different name for the same orchid.

Shalom Ori, Superb macro shot of this beautifull orchid. TFS.
Regards,
Mehmet

Ps. During the our trip to Cyprus in April, I met with your teacher Prof. Emeritus Yehudah WERNER and we conducted a joint herpetological research

Hello Ori,
Wow! You sure know how to find them. These are beautiful, the shape of each orhid looks as though it were a birds of paradise from Papua New Guinea. It would also be a great place for an orchid mantid to ambush it's prey. Very nicely captured and TFS.
Paul :)

Ps. As I seen that Mehmet wrote to you that we met my close friend Yehudah in Cyprus. We remembered you and told about on you with Yehudah.:) Say hello from me to him when you meet with him my friend.

Hi Ori,

That's an interesting-looking flower, different than most orchids even.

If you think plant nomenclature is hard to keep up with, stay away from fungi, they're really getting re-shuffled now that there's work being done on their DNA.

Those darned taxonomists! ;-)

Thanks,
John
