Limodorum abortivum

Les Lèves et Thoumeyragues

I have been waiting for weeks for a flower to appear on these dark stalks. When the first one appeared I was there to photograph it. Now there are hundreds and all are in full bloom. They grow under prickly bushes on the edge of the woods here. At first you do not notice them but once you have spotted one, you see them everywhere.
