Dactylorhiza × Senayi

Dactylorhiza × senayi is a rare and fascinating orchid species native to parts of Europe and western Asia. It is a hybrid plant resulting from the cross between Dactylorhiza foliosa and Dactylorhiza macrantha. This orchid is known for its striking violet or purple flowers and its ability to thrive in moist, shaded environments. Due to habitat loss and over-collection, it is considered endangered in many regions. Conservation efforts are crucial to ensure its survival in the wild.
