Gorgeous!
Ophreys apifera grow wild here in the UK too. Common name is the bee orchid.

Thanks Meanie. I've been trying to get my hands on these all winter....apparently there are more colors (soon to be mine).
Makes me sad, so many people here don't see the beauty of these. If they get in their way they are trash.

They are protected in many parts of the UK, so check their status in Corfu.

I love this one....I have posted two more pictures of a different color. I can't remember where they are in my garden....afraid I'm going to pull them out as weeds. ;o(

Agree, there are a few that grow on my hubby's olive grove. I will be moving them into my garden. ;o)
