Bee Orchid

Two of these were close together, right alongside the motorway. Such a treat to find them, not rare but not common either.
Oh, the things we learn through 365. Your image was so intriguing that I went on to research bee orchids and learned such interesting information! Thanks for the fascinating image that called for research!

This is very lovely on black. I hadn't heard of a bee orchid before. So glad that you found them.

Imitating a predator for survival, nature is fascinating.

What a find, wouldn’t think they survive along the motorway. Nice colors.

Neat to find this. I tried to look it up myself, but the internet has decided to hang up a bit and I couldn't get there. I guess everybody's online right now. I'll check it out later.
