Bee orchids confirmed as Ophrys scolopax and Ophrys bertolonii

« on: May 16, 2019, 07:20:15 AM »

Confirmation required please. I believe that the enlosed photos are of Orphys Bertoloni and Orphys scolopax, found in our garden this week.

Pete and Jan. Retired 18 years ago and moved to Le Marche, Italy for the peace and quiet of the countryside and more sunshine, where gardening became a challenge. We now have a lovely garden with an eclectic selection of plants including many wild flowers of which we are found of.

Jan, that one's certainly O. scolopax. I'm afraid the other picture doesn't show, at least on my computer.
