Description en: Genus of about 30 species of deciduous, tuberous, terrestrial orchids from Europe, Mediterranean islands, N. Africa, and W. Asia, occurring in habitats ranging from marshes and grassland to woodland and mountain-sides. They produce rosettes of oblong-ovate, ovate, or lance-shaped, mid-green leaves. From the rosettes arise erect inflorescences with small, bract-like leaves and racemes of 2-12 flowers; each has 3 spreading sepals, 2 petals, and a large lip, often strikingly coloured and resembling the abdomen of a bee or other insect. Ophrys species are suitable for a rock garden or for naturalizing in fine turf; in wet, frost-prone climates, they are best grown in an alpine house.
