Orchis Coriophora Var. Fragrans

Sweet orchis, scientifically known as Orchis coriophora var. fragrans, is a rare and enchanting member of the orchid family found in temperate regions of Europe. This delicate plant is prized not only for its striking violet-blue flowers but also for its subtle, sweet fragrance that lingers in the air. Often growing in shaded, moist woodland areas, it thrives in nutrient-rich soils and requires careful conservation due to habitat loss. Its unique appearance and gentle aroma make it a favorite among botanists and nature enthusiasts alike. Despite its beauty, the species remains elusive, adding to its mystique and ecological significance.
