Orchis Coriophora Proles Fragrans

Sweet orchis, scientifically known as Orchis coriophora proles fragrans, is a rare and delicate flowering plant native to parts of Europe and western Asia. This member of the orchid family is distinguished by its sweet, fragrant scent and its unique, bell-shaped flowers that bloom in early spring. Despite its beauty, it is often overlooked due to its modest size and subtle appearance. Found in moist, shaded habitats, it thrives in woodland areas and along stream banks. Its presence is a sign of a healthy ecosystem, making it a valuable indicator species for environmental conservation.
