Many thanks Chris and Herbert.

Changnienia amoena: I got this from a German vendor as a small tuber 4 years ago. I grow it in shade on a shelf under the bench of a cold greenhouse. It is in a compost comprised of Sophistocat cat litter/perlite/pine bark and pine needles with a small amount of proprietary ericaceous compost added. It is kept moist over the Winter and is gently dried off in late Spring when it goes dormant. Like Calypso it requires a little Summer moisture to prevent dessication. It also needs protection from marauding molluscs and other nefarious wee varmints.

Nice pictures Steve and I like Changnienia amoena most.

The last one looks more like Ophrys picta and is surely not Ophrys oestrifera, neither s.str. nor s.l..

Many thanks Stefan.

I think I have the wrong names for a few of my Ophrys. I lack the expertise to sort this.  ???
I will change the label.

Some of you may find this an interesting read

https://academic.oup.com/aob/article/121/1/85/4796793

according to the DNA analysis, there are only 9 Ophrys species.

Nine seems about right, but my friend now calls me a "Lumpernazi" so I would say that.

You may believe that I definitely don't.

Other more extensive (and much more expensive) DNA analysis show a high correlation with the biological approach (pollinator).

Except that it depends on which definition of the species you take, the genetic variability inside a species can be greater than the differences between alledged different species... And there's an annoying tendancy among ophrys taxonomists to describe each local form or even lusus as a new species!
Facts remain, there are only 9 or 10 groups among which "species" are fully cross-compatible, cross apifera group with insectifera group, the hybrid's pollen will be sterile (same with spehgodes, same with scolopax)... but individual "species" in each groups are fully cross-breedable, where do we draw the line between local diversity among a species and different species themselves?

I think that "the splitters" often forget the soil's nature and microclimate give local "species" features.

sphegodes is nice case of variability, all DNA analysis gave the same result.

Ophrys ficalhoana



Ophrys arnoldii



Androrchis prisca



Herorchis boryi

ficalhoana usually produce many bulbs, one my best increaser.
prisca is Orchis spitzelii?
