Platanthera bifolia, also known as the Lesser Butterfly-orchid, is a small and delicate orchid native to many parts of Europe and Asia. It typically grows in grassy habitats, such as meadows and woodland edges, and can be found at higher elevations up to 2000 meters. This species produces spikes of white flowers with distinct purple markings that resemble butterfly wings, blooming from June to August. Interestingly, it has an incredibly complex pollination mechanism involving male bees who mistake the orchids for female bees and attempt to mate with them, thus transferring pollen from one flower to another. The species faces several threats including habitat loss due to agricultural practices and climate change. However, conservation efforts are being implemented throughout its range with the hope of preserving this fascinating plant for future generations.
