Junto al borde del camino, solitaria y colorida me encontré en la tarde de ayer a esta singular floración de la orquídea Orchis collina o Anacamptis collina. Se trata de una especie que crece con relativa abundancia, siendo una de las primeras en aparecer a finales de invierno.
By the roadside, solitary and colorful, I found yesterday afternoon this unique flowering orchid Orchis collina or Anacamptis collina. This is a species that grows in relative abundance, being one of the first to appear in late winter.
No es la primera publicación que realizo de esta especie, pero cabe recordar, ya que me resulta curioso, el significado griego de su género “Orchis” (testículo), el cual no se debe a sus flores, obviamente, sino a los bulbos o tubérculos de los que procede la planta.
It is not the first publication that I make of this species, but it is worth remembering, since it is curious to me, the Greek meaning of its genus "Orchis" (testicle), which is not due to its flowers, obviously, but to the bulbs or tubers from which the plant originates.
Las flores se van de forma secuencial, así tendrán más oportunidades de ser polinizadas por los insectos a los que atraen con sus llamativos colores y formas seductoras.
The flowers are borne sequentially, so they will have more opportunities to be pollinated by the insects they attract with their striking colors and seductive shapes.
Comparto con la comunidad el enlace a la descarga de un libro (de forma pública y gratuita, ya que se editó para la divulgación ambiental) "Conociendo la gran Senda las orquídeas de Málaga y provincia":
I share with the community the link to the download of a book (public and free, as it was edited for environmental disclosure) "Knowing the great path of the orchids of Malaga and province":
