Diamond Orchid (Ophrys reinholdii)Observer
surfelifeDescription
Beautiful & very unusual lusus (genetic aberration) of an Ophrys reinholdii.
This has been confirmed later by a small secondary "plant foot", attached to the main one (with the white flowers) and happened to give normal classic O. reinholdii flowers (pics attached).
Aberrations to that extend are pretty rare in the wild.
In that specific case, the genetic modifications gave flowers morphologically very different from the "classic" ones.
