Ophrys ferrum-equinum

Ophrys ferrum-equinum

Description:

A very common pink and brown orchid of the species Ophrys ferrum-equinum, who's name derives from the characteristic shape of a silver horse-shoe on the brown petal. I spotted several plants, while hiking the protected reserve of Goritsa hill, Volos Greece.
