One of our preferred hobbies is to find, observe and take photos of wild orchids.
Every spring and summer, we all go in woods, meadows and wild lands to look for wild orchids. In Italy there are a lot of species of orchids, mainly in Southern Italy and in the Islands, so when we are near Gallipoli or in Sardinia a trip to take photos is assured!
I’m also member of GIROS – Gruppo Italiano per la Ricerca sulle Orchidee Spontanee.
During these years, I’ve taken a lot pf photos of wild orchids: a photo gallery is available on my web site: follow this link. Most of them are taken at Gallipoli or in Sardinia (near Sorgono and Meana Sardo or Oristano), but there are also orchids from Piedmont and Tuscany.
