Wildflowers of Palestine botanical art series features Palestine’s beautiful wildflowers in watercolor.*
Painted by Botanical Artist Lois Nakhleh, the Orchis papilionacea (Pink Butterfly Orchid) shows the varying colors of this protected wildflower.
The Orchis papilionacea is perhaps the most common wild orchid seen in the hills of Palestine. It, like all wild orchids in Palestine, is endangered and protected.Â
