Jewels from the Meadow1: Orchis conica

Orchids represent some of the most exquisite and complex strategies plants created to thrive among the larger species.

There's much information online about orchids and with this post I will only try to insist on the diversity of colours and shapes the portuguese species can come up with.

Hope you enjoy stopping by.

Orchis conica, a fairly widespread species in the southern half of Portugal.

The flowers just look like some dolls /girls clothes!
