Orchis italica. Woodcut from John Parkinson, Theatrum Botanicum. (London: 1640)
Hello there, you look happy to see me Hahah
Come on now!!???
Where have you been all my life?
Apparently when these were first discovered people thought they were sexual stimulants!! And they would put them into a drink called Salep and sometimes called Sallop in the middle east (they still drink it)
I am so inspired right now!
Thank you nature!

Sooooooo amazing!
They are so weird! Amazing though. I had Salep in a Turkish restaurant once - it's lovely. It's a hot drink that tastes like egg custard and it has quite an odd texture. I've never been able to find it since :(
