Photographer’s Note

She captured my attention, seems to me in some way smiling, maybe not...


The Bee Orchid (Ophrys apifera) is a perennial, temperate climate species of orchid.

Bees in the past have caused the evolution of bee orchids. Male bees, over many generations of cumulative orchid evolution, have built up the bee-like shape through trying to copulate with flowers, and hence carrying pollen.
