Description
Man orchid flowers (Aceras anthropophora). These flowers have a lip, a petal that has a different shape and colour to the others. The lip (brown) is shaped like a human, explaining the name of this orchid. It is a terrestrial (growing in the soil) orchid, and is found in Europe. There are over 30,000 species of orchids worldwide, many of which are grown as ornamental flowers.
