WITH SUCH BEAUTY ONCE IS NOT ENOUGH

With such a beautiful site as "Orchid Hill" in Almaraz only a "stone's throw" from our house, we decided to make a second spring visit there last Friday to see if any new species had cropped up since our first visit a couple of weeks ago. Indeed we found three new ones, Ophrys incubacea, Ophrys Fusca and Orchis papilionacea. Here are some photographs of these incredibly beautiful flowers.

Ophrys Fusca. Sombre Bee Orchid

Ophrys incubacea. Southern Spider Orchid

Orchis italica. Naked Man Orchid
