Epipactis veratrifolia I was fortunate to have the opportunity to visit this rare orchid in a closed reserve - C.A.J Kreutz, a world-renown Orchid Specialist from the Netherlands came to visit Israel, and a friend of mine coordinated with the nature and park authority so they will open the reserve for a few hours, so the honorable guest could see and photograph this orchid. my friend invited me and some other people to see the Epipactis, and I drove 150 KM each way to see it. (and on the way, some other wonderful flowers as well!)  - I had an amazing day!  Dead Sea,Epipactis veratrifolia,Geotagged,Israel,Winter Click/tap to enlarge Promoted
