Here new photos of the Orchis I postest already on 12.4.2020. I am still not convinced if this is a hybrid of O.mascula speciosa x O.pallens. Meanwhile I found out the most common Name for this hybrid: „Orchis x kisslingii“.
Additional Information:
It flowers 2 weeks before the other masculas on this place, together with the pallens, among those It is growing too.
Ist smells like viola, the other masculas there have no smell at all.
In the region the only Orchis you can find are O. mascula speciosa, O.pallens and O.militaris.
The typical speciosas there have a much lighter pink color, a white throat, fine spotted leaves and Not such a dense florescence(See my orher post of today)

Pflanze völlig ohne Chlorophyll. Ich bin mir ziemlich sicher bei der Bestimmung, auch weil in unmittelbarer Umgebung mehrere normale Ex. blühen.
