 Ditto!
Lutea was the first Ophrys that I ever grew, attracted by the bright yellow, and I cannot imagine ever being without one, or two, or three!

Ditto from me too.
I just love O. lutea. I have vivid memories of coming across groups in Spain and elsewhere when my addiction was in its early stages.
To be able to buy these plants legally now is just a joy.

Very nice Neil!
The intricate markings on the longicornu are particularly attractive.

Seductive deception!


Ophrys bombyliflora
This species produces flowers which resemble (and even smell like) female Solitary Bees of the genus Eucera.

Steve, my photos are not of the quality of yours.  That bombyliflora is gorgeous dark labellum on it.

The dull or sombre Ophrys.  That's Ophrys fusca if you are a lumper or Ophrys lupercalis to you splitters out there. ;D
Either way I like it and the name doesn't do it justice.
