Anacamptis palustris subsp. palustris
One more wild, not very common orchid, that can be found not only in Greece but in other Mediterranean and European countries as well. It grows in heights of up to 1800 m. and it flowers from April to July, often in large populations.
The flower above is not fully in bloom but personally I find its beauty unquestionable!
