This was a lucky find at the edge of a dusty road near a river which hadn't yet dried up. This is the only orchid of the many growing on Cyprus which is an endemic - a fact I didn't realise until a few days later. Not only rare, not only endemic but it looks good as well! Actually my wife found this one - "What's this then?" in a slightly bored tone of voice.
