| Picos de Europa, Northern Spain 30th May to 13th June 2009 |
Just a few images of the many orchids and wild flowers observed during our 2 weeks in the Picos de Europa.
I'm certainly no expert in Orchids so I'm sure many identifications of the more difficult species may be incorrect. If you believe that my identifications may be wrong, please do email me.
Lizard Orchid, Sawfly Ophrys, Late Spider Ophrys, Bee Orchid, Woodcock Ophrys, Fly Orchid, Burnt-tip Orchid, Tongue Orchid, Small Tongue Orchid, Man Orchid, Fragrant Orchid, Pyramidal Orchid, Pink Butterfly Orchid, Lange's Orchid, Spitzel's Orchid, Broomrape sp., Dark Red Helleborine, Heath Spotted / Common Spotted Orchid sp, Early Purple Orchid sp, Early Marsh Orchid, Unidentified Orchids.
A big thank you to Robert Godden who Debbie and I met while staying at the same accommodation in Spain. Robert kindly looked over my initial identifications and has been a great help in the identification of those orchids shown here. I would also like to thank Guille Bueno who identified the possible Spitsel's Orchid after being asked by Keith Warmington. |
