The Green-winged Orchid (Anacamptis morio, syn. Orchis morio) is currently flowering on the hillside at Mavronero.

A terrestrial Mediterranean species, it depends entirely on underground mycorrhizal fungi for germination. Its presence indicates low soil disturbance, minimal nutrient enrichment, and ecological continuity.

Seasonal in appearance yet rooted in complex biological processes, it reflects the resilience of Mediterranean semi-natural landscapes.
