I am so glad this thread was started.

During a holiday in Northern Greece last year, I photographed some orchids on an area of open ground near Panorama.  I have no idea hat they are, and to my eyes some look 'strange' - they appear to lack colour.

Identification would be much appreciated, plus any comments on the 'strange' ones.

I also have some orchids from 2007 Northern Greece that I would like identified.  They are not Ophrys, but hope the experts see them and can help.

First three images are Dactolyrhiza (?)

Fifth image should be a close up of the fourth.

beautiful pictures,I am not going to put a name to the strange brown one but the one thing you can be sure is they will be called by different names by different people. The dactylorhiza are sambucina which occurs in huge numbers in Greece and the second is Orchis (Anacamptis) morio

Thanks Tony

Some that are not Ophrys spp. creeping into this thread.
