Ophrys fusca

IMG_3206 [Ophrys fusca]

 
While I was strolling on Mt Hymittos for some fresh air in the middle of the winter,
I had an ‘unexpected encounter’ with this Ophrys.
Not having my camera with me,
I took this picture with my mobile phone.
 
It is a widespread Ophrys in Greece
that blooms from February to April on heights of up to 1100m.
 
This encounter may be symbolic.
It may be signifying the onset of the new Ophrys hunting period
for some flora photographers!
