Ophrys fusca ssp. laureotica
 |
CCC1010 [Ophrys fusca ssp. laureotica]
I
posted the above photo on Dec. 22, 2010 under the tentative name of
“Proimi (?)” because the plant had not been officially identified till
then. Today, I feel the need to repost it with its corrected name
because the plant has just been officially recognized as “Ophrys fusca
ssp. laureotica” [See: Journal Europäischer
Orchideen 43(2): 2011 pp. 367-377]. Eventually, Erotokritos
Kalogeropoulos’ work of observation and study of the plant was
successful and fully justified. The plant that he spotted for the first
time near Lavrio back in 2009 was indeed a new subspecies of the
Orchidaceae family as he had immediately suspected then!
Congratulations to Ero
and his associates Pinelopi Delipetrou and Antonis Alibertis

Mission accomplished!

CCC_2867 [Abies cephalonica]
The
ground under a tree of Abies cepalonica was covered with hundreds of
seeds that had fallen from the tree above. Among them I noticed a
strange little figure that - after a close examination - turned out to
be a seed that had just “given birth” to a young tree. It had just
accomplished its mission! The young tree itself and the seed on top had a
total height of about 5 cm.
