Ophrys apifera. A widespread orchid, found across much of the British Isles, central Europe and the Med. This one has appeared in my lawn for the last couple of years

What else?
See who else is growing Ophrys apifera (Bee Orchid).
See who else has plants in genus Ophrys.
Wow! Lucky you. I have never seen this in the wild. I am not sure we have the habitats round here for it.
