Parco Nazionale del Gargano

Images and botanical fiches on the spontaneous orchids of Gargano

For the geographical position and its environmental features, as well as for the particular relationship existing between traditional human activities and environment, Gargano is characterized by a matchless richness in flora, and its spontaneous orchids are one of the most famous evidences. These plants are more widespread than people believe and grow almost in any kind of environment. Despite this, because of their size, often rather small, they pass unnoticed. If you observe them from close up, they will reveal surprising shapes and unexpected colors.
