BEE ORCHIDS IN JULY 2013 IN GROVE SITE
More of the Ophrys apifera and still in flower.
Pods beginning to form while there are still some flower buds waiting to open.
First time I found this site I do not think there has been many out as I had just missed them flowering and they had swollen pods and I am pretty sure it was at least a month earlier that it is now. The flowers were all dried up when I first saw them and not one even closely resembled a full blown flower. That was about four years ago and found the Marsh Orchids nearby the year before if I recall correctly.
Some of these look like they would still have flowers in a week or twos time?!

DAY OF THE ORCHIDS - BEE ORCHID OPHRYS APIFERA (Plant A1)
Well what do you know?!?!
Among the Pyramidal and Common Spotted Orchids and actually the second one out of the three to spot was finally a picture of a Bee Orchid?!?!
The killer about these photos is not only had I thought I missed the Bee Orchids...AGAIN, but these pictures were taken about 3 miles from the site I have been visiting and getting photos of for three years or more?!
I kid you not!
Now though I had read of Bee Orchids being at this site I had never EVER seen a single one. This day I found TWO and I will go back in a few days to investigate more and do some filming.
