My friend Jill is doing a talk this weekend on Italy and would like some help ID'ing an orchid she saw outside Villa Lante (wild area of garden).
Any help would be appreciated!
cheers

It looks like Green Winged Orchid, Orchis ? morio.

[Tristan_He]

Yes I agree, Green-winged orchid. Has been moved to Anacamptis now.

[fermi de Sousa]

Thanks, Ian and Tristan,
that helps a lot.
European ground orchids are a complete mystery to me!
cheers

Goodyera oblongifolia from seeds, deflasked spring 2020 (lower) and 2021 (upper). They haven't flowered yet. The seeds were a kind gift from Gabriela. The second picture shows the nice veining of the leaves, which is very different from the European repens.
