Cephalanthera rubra is a slender, tall (up to 40cm), perennial wild orchid
mainly found in Europe, North Africa and southwest Asia.
In Greece it is found in forest clearings, forest roadsides, and generally in shady, dry places
at altitudes up to 2,000 meters.
Its flowers are bright pink, the reason why it is called “rubra”,
but in rare occasions they are white.
The pictures were taken on Mt. Parnitha
at the end of June in 2017 and 2011.
