It wasn’t just the sight that was awesome. The scent exuded by the flowers of the „short-spurred fragrant orchid / Gymnadenia odoratissima“ and blown by the wind was also delightful.

It is always gratifying to see that there are still meadows where nature can be nature for you. Also this time I was able to find some such meadows during our vacation in Istria. The green-veined orchid (Anacamptis morio) in a wide variety of colors and shapes can grow there relatively undisturbed – just a beautiful sight. […]
