The Ophrys orchids are renowned for their ability to cross-pollinate and generate interspecies hybrids. We recently came across such a variant which appears to be a hybrid between the early and late spider orchid varieties (Ophrys sphegodes & Ophrys fuciflora).

After what you said about being dark........ this one could do with a touch more light for my tastes, Sinuhe - but I can still see that it looks like a tiny Pug dog!
