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 to le Marche, Italy 20 years ago for a quiet, sunny life. Gardening here was a challenge, but we now have a wonderful garden, with an eclectric selection of plants, including many wild flowers and orchids 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.
