Post-Hike Orchid Visit at Montgrí

Performed on 4/25/2026

Description

Following the completion of a hiking route that led to Montgrí Castle, undertaken with the Sant Vicenç Hiking Club, the proximity was utilized for a brief orchidological excursion.

This additional survey focused on an adjacent meadow in the Montgrí area, with the aim of locating orchid specimens of interest. The outing proved successful, allowing for the discovery and photographic documentation of two hybrid specimens of significant botanical value. This observation augmented the record of local floristic diversity.

During this outing, the following orchid species were observed:

Anacamptis pyramidalis
Limodorum abortivum
Ophrys ×castroviejoi (O. scolopax × O. speculum)
Ophrys ×peltieri (O. scolopax × O. tenthredinifera)
Ophrys scolopax
Orchis anthropophora
