30_Ophrys_cretica
For me this is the species:
http://www.cretanflora.com/Ophrys cretica bicornuta.html
but when I add Ophrys cretica a different sp is brought from wikipedia (Cyprus bee orchid,Ophrys kotschyi). I don't think this is the one. However when I see this then I am in doubt:

It could also be O. ariadnae. See some insights to differentiate the species cretica and ariadnae here:
http://www.orchidsofbritainandeurope.co.uk/Ophrys cretica.html
If is cretica then I don't know if I need to enter this sp/ssp manually.
I need help to decide here! :-D
Meadow by the road between Spili and Gerakari, Crete (Greece).

Not this time, however, other databases show both names as seperate species, not synonyms. Thus, I've now manually untied this relation in JD.
As for which species this is exactly, not an expert, but this looks pretty convincing to me:

That's why for now I mapped it to the "main" species Ophrys cretica. We do not usually create sub species records for plants. Recommendation is to put subspecies info in the title/description of your post, this way it will still be found when using search. Posted 11 months ago
