I was absolutely blown away by the Spring botany on the recent trip, particularly on the Bulgarian Steppe. It was a constant distraction (a very inspiring one) and basically almost stole the show from what I was trying to focus on in the field - the bird migration and regional Lepidoptera. I've recently downloaded the Plant Net app Download Here. The reviews seem good and as a tool for a botany dabbler (i.e. me) it seems to be a good tool, not sure on the accuracy though so would welcome any corrections to the identifications. More plants on the album HERE .

Surely not Ophrys passionis, a sub(species) limited to France, NE Spain and Italy. Always difficult to distinguish. Why is it not one of the O.(s) mammosa group, the normal form(s) in Bulgaria?
Yes, I got some feedback from a Bulgarian botany group who also agree this is mammosa .
Thanks Martin!
