	Orchids with History: Ophrys apifera var. tilaventina
		This strange variety of the bee orchid was described as Ophrys apifera var.
		But the orchid should better be called by the older name Ophrys apifera var.
		But by far this was not the beginning of the history: The orchid was already known in the century before last and interpreted in completely different ways during the course of time.

		Undoubtedly it was once locally common in the south, but ploughing and re-seeding of old pastures has meant that much of its former habitat has gone, and to see this attractive plant is now always a privilege.
		In general, Ophrys species resemble particular insect species and this extends to chemical mimicry – they produce the appropriate pheromone to attract the insect, which then attempts to mate with the flower – an activity termed 'pseudocopulation'.
		apifera, the projection consists of a single point that is curved round underneath the flower, in O.
