Discover the enchanting beauty of the Conopsea, or Fragrant Orchid (Gymnadenia conopsea), as it blooms in the shadow of the Plattkofel and Langkofel Mountains in the Dolomites, Alto Adige, Italy. This rare and fragrant orchid, also known as Adonis Blue Orchid, is a delight for both botanists and nature enthusiasts. Its delicate, elusive flowers have long been admired, as depicted in Curtis' British Entomology Plate 268. The Lesser Butterfly Orchid (Platanthera bifolia) often grows alongside, adding to the vibrant alpine landscape. Captured in three stunning images (Picture Nos. 10885098, 10890470, and 10890473), the Conopsea's ethereal presence is a testament to the wonders of nature.
