Ophrys sitiaca. The first Orchid of the season!

Ophrys sitiaca. Filerimos hill

It is like a rendezvous! Every new year, in the first ten days of January, I use to visit the nearby pine woods of Filerimos hill. There, under the shade of pine trees, Ophrys sitiaca is always the first orchid that begins to flower.
Happy New Orchid Year to all!

Welcome to my blog!

Let me introduce myself. My name is Giorgos Pastrikos. I' m a nature photographer and an empirical botanist. For many years I research and photograph the nature of Rhodes, especially, the wild orchids. During all these years I have visited nearly all possible orchid’s biotopes and in my archives I have many thousands of high quality, high resolution photographs of all orchid species. Therefore, if you are interested for the wild orchids of Rhodes, you are in the right place. In here you can learn all the news about Rhodian orchids. You can also arrange a guided tour to the best orchids’ biotopes. During this tour you will have the opportunity to see the most important and rarest orchid’s of Rhodes and to learn some photographic tricks and techniques which will improve your photographs. If you are not intended to visit Rhodes, you still can purchase some high resolution digital copies of my photographs to enrιch your collection of orchids.
