A beautiful Ophrys! Very colorful with pretty shapes, it can be found in some southern departments in April. (Aude, Pyrénées orientales, Gers, Vaucluse and Corsica). It is not a common orchid in France and Italy or Spain host much larger populations.

Its label, however, presents a very large variety of colors and shapes, so we will judge on the overall appearance of the flower to validate the species.

The appendage (at the bottom and in the center of the labellum) is often very upturned and topped with quite visible developed hair.
