Serapias vomeracea

The long-lipped serapias is a beautiful flower with long, unique petals that look like a little lip! It blooms in spring and can be found in sunny places. These flowers are special because they attract bees with their sweet scent.

Lebensraum: Grasslands

Aussehen

The long-lipped serapias has slender stems bearing 3-10 reddish-purple to brownish flowers, each with a distinctive, elongated, tongue-like lip. This prominent labellum, often marked with darker spots or veins, extends from beneath a helmet-shaped hood formed by the fused upper petals, giving it a unique profile.
