Cyprus Part 3 Botany

 Our holiday in Cyprus was a "go slow" wildlife holiday for birds and botany, though the botany was aimed at mainly Orchids and Cypriote rare species.  The following photographs are mainly of the orchids which we saw.  Not being an expert in orchids I went through our checklist and matched the names to the photograph I have taken. It is possibly that I may have one or two incorrectly named so if any of you spot an error please let us know. Thank you.
