Bug orchid (Anacamptis coriophora)

Description

Anacamptis coriophora, the bug orchid, is a species of orchid. Bug Orchid plants can grow up to 60 cm in height with dense heads of deep wine-red flowers; they have dark red spots on the lips, which are much paler in the centre. The common name of this orchid apparently refers to the somewhat unpleasant smell of the flowers.
