      This orchid usually blooms later in June and July so we were lucky to find this first flower. Posted 12 years ago

    Balkan Lizard orchid In the end of May we went on a trip to the Eastern Rhodope Mountains in the quest for wild orchids. This was the first one we spotted accidentally when we stopped by the road to photograph the Ivaylovgrad dam.
