Hello friends, orchid lovers! After "adopting" my own orchid and polishing myself on the subject, I began to do research on wild species in Portugal. For this small study I had to buy a book by (Josea Brites) and go out into the field to record different species throughout the country. I will use this community to make my "personal field guide." Today I was in the "Fonte Telha" area, a nature reserve with millions of years where I hoped to find something interesting... And of course that's what happened...📸👨🏻🏫
Hola amigos amantes de las orquideas! luego de "adoptar" mi propia orquidea y pulirme sobre el tema, comence a realizar investigaciones de especies Salvajes en Portugal, para este pequeno estudio tuve que adquirir un libro cuyo autor es: (Josea Brites) y salir al campo para ir registrando diferentes especies a lo largo de todo el Pais y utilizare esta comunidad para hacer mi "guia de campo personal", Hoy estuve en la zona de "Fonte Telha" una reserva natural con millones de anos donde esperaba conseguir algo interesante... Y claro asi fue...🌷⛰️

To get to the area where I might find orchids I had to look for something off the road, that is, go directly to the "Mato dos Medos" nature reserve. This reserve, with more than 300 hectares, was built by order of the King of Portugal, D. João V, around the 17th century. From there we get an idea of how important the area is for the ecology of the area. The beach is just under two kilometres away, so the dunes are the ones who do the work of preventing the sand from escaping and the water from destroying all of this!⛰️📸
Para adentrarme hacia la zona donde posiblemente encontrare Orquideas tenia que buscar algo fuera de la carretera, osea ir directamente a la reserva natural "mato dos medos", esta reserva con mas de 300 hectareas fue mandada a construir por el rey de Portugal D. João V esto aproximadamente en el siglo XVII y alli tenemos una idea de lo imporante que es el area para la ecologia de la zona, a poco menos de dos kilometros esta la playa por tanto las dunas son quienes hacen el trabajo de evitar el escape de la arena y que el agua destruya todo esto!🧭

As you can see, the passageways that I am going to take today are super ecological wooden walks which have an extension of more than 6km but to the sides is the area where it is not allowed to step and it is where I intend to locate my orchid, today I am looking for a particular species WHICH IS COMMON IN ECOSYSTEMS WITH LIMESTONE ROCKS and I read that this area has that particularity, let's see if I am lucky!👨🏻🏫🌷
como puedes ver los pasadizos que voy hacer hoy son unas caminatas de madera super ecologicas la cual tienen una extension de mas de 6km pero hacia los lados es la zona que no se permite pisar y es donde pretendo localizar mi orquidea, hoy voy en busca de una especie en particular QUE ES COMUN EN ECOSISTEMAS CON ROCAS CALIZAS y lei que esta zona presenta esa particularidad, veamos si tengo suerte!🚩🌍

Today we are going after the species: (Himantoglossum robertianum) here in Portugal it is known as the Giant Orchid and its name makes sense because I had never seen a wild one so big, passing my knee in height! We emphasize that this species IS NOT IN DANGER OF EXTINCTION NOR IS IT PROTECTED, so we should not worry because it is common throughout Portugal, in fact it is dispersed in the Mediterranean.👨🏻🏫🌷⛰️
Hoy vamos detras de la especie: (Himantoglossum robertianum) aqui en Portugal se le conoce como Orquidea Gigante y su nombre le hace sentido pues nunca habia visto una salvaje tan grande pasando mi rodilla en altura! destacamos que esta especie NO ESTA EN PELIGRO DE EXTINCION NI ESTA PROTEGIDA, por eso no debemos preocuparnos porque es comun en todo Portugal, en realidad esta dispersa en el mediterraneo.🧭🚩
How long does it take to locate it? How common is it?🌍🌷/Cuanto demoro en localizarla? que tan comun es?👨🏻🏫🚩
As I walk along I always look to both sides of the wooden paths and well, if I don't see any orchids I try to enjoy nature to the fullest. Now I see why this is a botanical reserve. In such a short time I saw three different species of fungi, as well as lichens and mosses. As it is winter there are no flowers so the biodiversity of insects and birds is lower.🌷👨🏻🏫
Mientras avanzo en mi caminata voy siempre observando hacia ambos lados de los caminos de madera y bueno si no veo orquideas trato de disfrutar de la naturaleza al maximo, ya veo porque es una reserva botanica esto, asi en tan poco tiempo vi tres especies diferentes de hongos, tambien liquenes y musgos, como es invierno no hay flores asi que la biodiverdidad de insectos y aves es menor.📸
We arrived at the fossil area, is this where my orchid will be?🌍🌷/Llegamos al area fosil es aqui donde estara mi orquidea?👨🏻🏫🚩
This is one of the most important reserves of bivalve fossils in Western Europe. As you can see, the rocks are different and the landscape also changes. We can see spaces between the undergrowth, something that is particular to where our (Himantoglossum robertianum) lives. This rock formation is 10 million years old.🚩🧭⛰️
Esta es una de las reservas de europa occidental mas importantes de fosiles de bivalvos, como ves la rocas son diferentes y el paisaje tambien cambia, podemos ver espacios entre la maleza algo que es particular de conseguir donde habita nuestra (Himantoglossum robertianum), esta formacion de rocas tienen 10 millones de anos.🌍👨🏻🏫
The search gives results🌍🌷/La busqueda da resultados👨🏻🏫🚩
I was frustrated because I had walked for more than two hours and I couldn't see my orchid. It is supposed to bloom in the second week of January, so I should see it easily, but that wasn't the case! Despite being a "common" species, I see that this area doesn't have many orchids and I don't know if that is a negative aspect of the reduction of orchids in the Atlantic-Mediterranean area. I was wondering if orchids are slowly disappearing in Portugal? Why aren't there many?🌍🌲
Estaba frustrado porque habia caminado mas de dos horas y no conseguia ver mi orquidea, supuestamente ella florece en la segunda semana de enero por eso deberia verla facilemente pero no fue asi! apesar de ser una especie "comun" veo que esta zona no tiene mucha orquidea y no se si eso es un aspecto negativo sobre la reduccion de orquideas en la vertiente zona atlantica-mediterranica. Me preguntaba sera que en Portugal las orquideas estan desapareciendo poco a poco? porque no hay muchas?📸🌄
They are disappearing🌍🌷/Estan desapareciendo👨🏻🏫🚩

According to this article, they are gradually disappearing due to habitat destruction and climate change. However, the most worrying thing in Portugal is the thousands of hectares that burn each year due to arson. Is that the answer?
Segun este articulo poco a poco estan desapareciendo por destruccion de habita y por el cambio climatico, sin embargo lo mas preocupante en Portugal son sus miles de hectareas que se queman por ano debido a incendios provocados, sera esa la respuesta?
About Himantoglossum robertianum🌍🌷/Sobre Himantoglossum robertianum👨🏻🏫🚩
This is a species of orchid that is distributed in Europe and grows on the ground, therefore it is "terrestrial", we can find it in the forest, weeds, open areas and roadsides, it has three bulbs at most and is quite robust and large, being able to measure more than 50cm, sometimes reaching 80cm. Normally, the orchid has 5 to 10 leaves, its inflorescence is of the "spike" type and has a slightly pyramidal shape, pollination is by insects and the seeds are spread by wind.😲👨🏻🏫🌷

Lo normal es que la orquidea tenga de 5 a 10 hojas, su inflorescencia es de tipo "espiga" y tiene una forma un poco de piramide, la polinizacion es por insectos y la forma de esparcion de semillas es por medio del viento⛰️📸.
