Ophrys bornmuelleri
Bornmueller's Orchid is a wild European-Middle Eastern terrestrial orchid that grows from tubers and is found in Mediterranean-type habitats. It is a wild species rarely grown in gardens, and it is best left in the wild or grown only from ethically sourced seed or tubers.
Ophrys bornmuelleri is a species of flowering plant in the family Orchidaceae, native to the eastern Mediterranean (Crete, Cyprus, the East Aegean islands, mainland Greece, Lebanon-Syria, the Palestine region, and Turkey) and northern Iraq. It was first described by Maximilian Schultze in 1899.
