The Reward of Patience: Orchis purpurea in Full Flower

During a delightful day spent enjoying wine tourism in the picturesque lands of Alt Empordà, we seized the opportunity to revisit a population of Orchis purpurea, the striking Lady Orchid, which we had first spotted nearly a month ago. Back then, they were shyly holding back their blooms, leaving us in eager anticipation for their grand unveiling.

However, patience truly paid off! On this return visit, these magnificent orchids greeted us in their full glory. We were thrilled to count a total of 13 specimens, all in splendid flowering condition and exhibiting remarkable vitality. It's always a special privilege to witness nature unfold its beauty, gracing us with such precious moments amidst the scenic vineyards. Alt Empordà never ceases to amaze us with its rich biodiversity!
