Ophrys isaura

Ophrys isaura may very well the the rarest Ophrys species in the world. It is endemic to the Taurus mountains in Turkey and even here it only grows in the woods near Kuyuçak and more than 200 km to the south east near Gulnar.
It prefers moist to wet soils and often grows in the shade of trees which is not the most usual spot to find Ophrys species.
