Orchis Monophylla

Orchis monophylla, also known as the single-leaf orchid, is a rare and fascinating species native to the mountainous regions of Europe. This unique orchid is characterized by its single, broad leaf and striking purple and white flowers that bloom in late spring. It thrives in moist, shaded environments and is often found in woodlands and heathlands. Due to habitat loss and environmental changes, it is considered vulnerable and requires conservation efforts to ensure its survival. Its beauty and ecological significance make it a subject of both scientific study and botanical admiration.
