The following photos show plants, which certainly don’t illustrate classic Ophrys oestrifera. Lip size is strikingly smaller, in addition lip is significantly narrower. So far I am unsure about the classification. If you have any nomenclature idea, I would be glad about your Mail: fancyplants@web.de

The following photos show plants, which certainly don’t illustrate classic Ophrys oestrifera. Lip size is approximately identical. Noticeable is the short hump of side lobes plus partly shaggy hairiness of side lobes. So far I am unsure about the classification.
