Four spotted Orchis - Orchis quadripunctata
Orchis quadripunctata gained its name from the four dark dots at the centre of the lip. While the species is noted for this feature, it cannot be taken as a given as these dots may be either reduced or increased in number, merged or sometimes absent!
Four-spotted Orchid was seen at one location on my trip to the Greek island of Crete in April.
