Orchis Palustris Var. Mediterranea

Common marsh orchid, scientifically known as Orchis palustris var. mediterranea, is a striking member of the orchid family found in wetland habitats across Europe. This delicate yet resilient plant thrives in moist, nutrient-rich soils, often near streams or in marshy areas. Its vibrant purple flowers bloom in late spring, adding a splash of color to the landscape. The orchid's unique structure and ecological importance make it a focal point for conservation efforts. Despite its beauty, it faces threats from habitat loss and environmental changes.
