This rare butterfly depends on wild orchids for survival. 🦋🍀☀️

Fairy slippers (Calypso bulbosa) in abundance out back this year carpeting the forest floor. Interesting row of aphids feeding along the first one's stem.

The wonderful thing about orchids in North Dordogne isn’t the rarity of the species, it’s their sheer abundance in otherwise ordinary habitats: Burnt-tip Orchids on a road verge near our house, and Green-winged Orchids on waste ground in the local town #WildOrchids #France #SaintYrieixLaPerche

Stunning bee orchid, found in the wild area of the West Bank at Overbury Court last week.
We get plenty of pyramidal orchids, which are still here, but it’s lovely to see the bee orchid as a welcome addition - I hope it proliferates some more.

This is the most beautiful group of Anacamptis pyramidalis I could ever shoot. Wild orchids are so special to me.

55! Jings! And in only one island.
My top count was a year I drove back through Greece and the Alps (via Italy, but didn't stop in Italy due to general strike), and I was pleased with tot iirc 34 species (excl vars but inc x).
No idea there were as many as 50+ in one place! 😍

#OrchidsOfRhodes 2025 - Today we came across our 54th and 55th species of the tour which eclipses our count from 2024 and sets the bar for future years!
It's been such a privilege to co-lead such a wonderful group alongside @dunnjons.bsky.social for @mariposanature.bsky.social. Love to you all 🫶

Not sure but think they're the common spotted ones.
