Serapias Levantina Subsp. Feldwegiana

Serapias levantina subsp. feldwegiana is a rare and striking member of the orchid family native to southern Europe and parts of North Africa. This subspecies is known for its vibrant yellow and orange flowers that bloom in late spring and early summer. It thrives in rocky and calcareous soils, often found in mountainous regions and dry grasslands. Due to habitat loss and over-collection, it is considered threatened in many areas. Conservation efforts are crucial to preserving this unique and beautiful plant.
