Going through my older pictures from SpringTurkey I found this for me unidentified species of bee orchid. Photographed at the end of April in Çıralı (90km southwest from Antalya), common at the edge of pine forest there.
Can someone identify it?

No but it is a cool flower.
I found a web page devoted to the orchids of Turkey, this plant appears to be Ophrys colossaea.

Looks cute. thanks for sharing
