Anacamptis x kallithea we went Orchid-hunting, when Assaf Shifman said: I remember seeing the hybrid Anacamptis coriophora X sancta over 30 years ago... let's try to find it. we drove to the area he remembered, he stopped the car near the location and we started the search... about 30 meters from where we stopped the car - we found the hybrid. what an amazing man to have as a friend! :-) Anacamptis coriophora X sancta,Anacamptis x kallithea,Geotagged,Kalithea Orchid,Spring
