Ophrys tenthredinifera

[SteveC]

First flower opened now on another of my favourite Ophrys, (I say that about all of them don't I?)
This is Ophrys tenthredinifera. Strictly speaking the name means Sawfly bearing, but it is also called the Lion's mane Ophrys, which I think is more appropriate. Found throughout the Mediterranean, the splitters have had a field day with this one as it is quite variable.
