Serapias... sp. (fam. Orchidaceae).

[ES] No tengo claro qué puede ser esto: el labelo no es ancho como en Serapias cordigera y el epiquilo no va hacia atrás como en S. vomeracea. ¿Podría ser S. lingua? Pues no lo sé, porque no le pude ver la callosidad del hipoquilo. Me inclino más por S. vomeracea, pero ni idea.
Fotografiada el 02/05/2026 en la provincia de Bizkaia.

[EN] I'm not sure about the identification of this species: the labellum isn't as wide as in Serapis cordigera and the epichile isn't pointing backwards as in S. vomeracea. Could it be S. lingua? I don't know, because I couldn't see the callus of its hypochile. I suspect it is S. vomeracea, but I have no idea.

"hiding away"

I'm not one to title my photos but when I saw the Pink-butterfly Orchid (Anacamptis papilionacea) it just gave me the impression that the hood made by the petals folded together were like arms and hands covering an imaginary face 😂

The union of these petals and sepals has a scientific name: galea. Their purpose is to protect the reproductive parts of the plant from rain, wind or unwanted visitors.
