The Italian naked man orchid
May pander to a man's virility
A simple taste, a quick bite of its
Tempting flower may surprise you
With a lobed lip upon each flower
This many layered orchid
Mimics the shape of a naked man
A Mediterranean native
Rare in inflorescence, composed of many flowers
Delicately cut in strips
Bright pink, densely clustered flowers
Their strongly undulating basal leaves
In their rosette states
May make a chaste maiden blush
Find these handsome gents
Growing in partial shade, in lean grasslands
Open Garriques (shrublands) and light wooded areas
Indulge your senses
See. Touch. Taste.
