Ophrys apifera is native to the UK and commonly known as the Bee Orchid.
It grows in a wide range of habitat on chalk, clay and calcareous sand, in grassland, scrub, sand dunes, limestone pavement, roadside verges, abandoned quarries and industrial waste ground where there has occured a base-rich substrate. Although most sites are well-drained, it can also flourish in damp areas.
