Cyprus Wild Orchids

in #flowerphotography5 years ago (edited)

When I walked along the linear path of nature, I saw wild orchids.
I really liked them!
I could not not make their photo.
And I want to share my photos of these wild orchids with you.

Twenty rare orchid species grow in Cyprus.
One of these wild Cyprus orchids is: Himantoglossum robertianum.
It is the largest of wild orchids.
Himantoglossum robertianum grows up to 75 cm in height.

This orchid blooms from late January to April.
In Himantoglossum robertianum flowers are: white-green, white-green turning into pink and even crimson.

Those are beautiful!

Thank you very much!
Today I took my girlfriend with her children to see these orchids.
She really liked!
She had not seen wild orchids in nature before.
I took more photos of these orchids.

Wow! They grow here too I think. I hope to find one...

Our climate seems to be what they should be.
In Russia, despite the cold and snowy winter, there are wild orchids.

Do you have any photos of the Russian ones?

No, I do not know the place where they grow.
But there is such a wild orchid as in Cyprus, the photo of which I have exhibited.

What an unusual and beautiful orchid.

Thank you very much!
I want to find out in what other places wild orchids grow.
There is practically no information about this :-((

They grow in many places. Here is one of my posts on wild orchids.

Thanks for the link!
I read your post, interesting information!
I had a few orchids "Slipper".
Purchased from the store.
But there was only one left ... and I don `t know if he survives.
I have been bruised for his life for a whole year !!!

We have at least 5 kinds of wild slipper orchids. Somewhere in my blog, there are also photos from an orchid show.

Thank!
Super!
I, on another day, will definitely look.
I have only 2 slipper of the American hybrid.
The third, which I have been trying to save for a year, is fragrant.

You must search, must be.
I think that there are wild orchids in almost all countries.
