Boqq - I simply have no idea - it must be an Ophrys (at least according to the title of the picture) - so unless it is one of those very rare orchids which are listed in our flora but which may as well be growing on the moon because nobody ever seems to see them (and even then, I can reall none looking like this), there are not too many options left.
It is not
O.lutea - this leaves us with
fusca, melitensis,
speculum and
bombyliflora - however I cannot recall any of them looking at all like this picture

Rally cheeky Mr. jackpot!!

I was wondering what Orchid could have such a small labellum else Spiranthes! And what are those white 'flaps'!
A well deserved applause for the successful trick
