Hi guys and gals
I was in Abruzzo, Italy, at the beginning of last year.
Wandering the woods, I had a fabulous suprise awaiting me.
Over 2 days I found

1 Neotinea tridentata (Three-toothed orchid)
2 Ophrys bertolonii (Bertoloni’s bee orchid)
3 Ophrys sphegodes (Early Spider Orchid)
4 Orchis italica (Naked Man or Italian Orchid)
5 Orchis purpurea (Lady Orchid)

Slight query re ID of one.
