Ophrys insectifera

Absolutely *fizzing* mad here in Sicily. Arrived at a spectacular site for Ophrys oxyrhynchos to find literally hundreds of recently dug holes, and most of the orchids removed. This is orchid theft on a massive scale.

Our Orchids of Sicily tour is off to a flying start today, with immaculate Orchis brancifortii & Ophrys grassoana within minutes of our Etna hotel. With Sicilian native naturalist Andrea Corso co-leading with Jon Dunn 🇺🇦, we're getting an unrivalled Sicilian experience already. 😊

News from the field: the #orchid season is rattling along here in southern Italy in the wake of a hot, dry spring. Ophrys calliantha is well under way, while Ophrys biancae has almost finished flowering. The timing of our Orchids of Sicily tour has been spot on to catch them all.
