Beautiful Mandy, great colours and detail, you can see where it gets its name from.. Very well done, Take care Mark

I have never seen this type of orchid Mandy, it really looks as if a bee is at the centre. Fabulous image and beautifully presented. Zuzana

Very well done triptych, Mandy - top job - RB

Thank you Mark, Zuzana, Bob, Hoberty and Janet for the comments. I came across this unusal little plant growing wild, I think I was very lucky to have spotted it as it was the only one I saw. Went back to the spot a few days later and it was passed it's best so I'm really glad that I had photographed it when I did. I was unsure of it's name so searched the net for more info on it. Glad you like it.   Best wishes Mandy.

A rare species Mandy and I think they are protected, superbly photographed.
