We needed an early start to drive to the next hotel in Finike, stopping at a site for Ophrys lycia where the three orchids had had their flowers removed.   Seda got in touch with the Ophrys lycia project and the Director very kindly took us to a spot where we photographed a few very photogenic individuals.
