For anyone who appreciates the delicate intricacy of wild orchids,springtime in the Sorrento peninsula is the place to be.
Over the years, I have gradually learnt when and where to find them, although they can sometimes be seen simply flowering on the grass verges of the roads.
During my last few hikes, the routes admittedly chosen in the hope of being in the right place at the right time, I have not been disappointed finding a variety of ophrys, orchis, serapias and anacamptis.

Some lovely shots!
ReplyDeleteIt seems strange that these are all flowering while we shiver up here in the north, although I have seen a first spike of early purple orchid.
