Hommelorchis - Ophrys fuciflora

I was so happy when i found these...in the same area we can also see Ophrys apifera, Bee orchis, and quite some other orchid species but when I realized this was actually Ophrys fuciflora I was thrilled because it was my first time to find this one! Also called O. holoserica, apparently an incorrect name.
