    Thak you so much for all your kind words, you are all an excellent company!
    Recently I found another one - it grows in the forest, to me it is interesting because of its long spurs: Platanthera bifolia.

    Very beautiful. The white colour and long spur reminds me of our Pecteilis susannae. How big are the flowers and does it have any fragrance ?

    Both are beautiful. Love the second picture of the Anacamptis - a real pyramid shape, that.

    So, I'm late to the party, but I must say Branka, your photographs are incredible! I think I may embarass myself posting some of my pics, but thank you for setting a standard we can all aspire to. Keep up the beautiful work.
    All the Best,
    Tony
