 了解葡萄牙的野生兰花

第十届红叶石楠(Ophrys tenthredinifera)

它们并不像我通常在文章中展示的观赏性兰花那样大而华丽的花朵,但它们仍然是大型兰花家族的有趣标本。 兰花科 当详细观察时,这些花显示出非同寻常的特点、美妙的形状和巨大的美丽。

葡萄牙有大约70种兰花栖息在我们的乡村。 它们分布在几个地方 生境 对于不了解它们的人来说,可能很难找到它们,但在春天,许多协会都会组织观察兰花的自然之旅。

白头翁

葡萄牙兰花是陆生的,生长在土壤中,大多在开阔的田野或树木稀疏的地方。 山区可能是最多的地方。 植物有一个中心茎,叶子和发展多花的茎,通常形成穗状。

它们是球茎植物,通常有两个球茎,一个较老的球茎将产生植物,另一个正在形成,将为第二年出生的植物储存养分。 夏末,在花朵凋谢后,整个植物干枯,新的地下球茎会休眠几个月,只有在第二年春天才会醒来。

花虫

我们的许多兰花都很像昆虫,有些兰花的俗名甚至是fuschus fly ( 蚜虫 ),杂草( 昙花一现 ), 蜂草或大黄蜂(Bee-weed or bumblebee) 橄榄枝 ),蓍草( 橄榄枝(Ophrys lutea) )和蝴蝶草( Anacamptis papilionacea 而花对昆虫的这种模仿并不是简单的巧合。

Himantoglossum robertianum

兰花利用其花朵吸引昆虫为其授粉,由于兰花没有花蜜,花朵的伪装和香水对一些昆虫具有吸引力,这些昆虫试图与 "花虫 "交配,并在此过程中为花朵授粉。 查尔斯-达尔文对这种现象进行了研究,他在1885年发表了关于兰花授粉的著作。

第一个出现的兰花,仍然是在冬季,是 Himantoglossum robertianum 它们也是我们葡萄牙最大的兰花,高度可达70厘米。 花朵呈穗状排列,从远处就能看到其粉红色的颜色。

ǞǞǞ 橄榄枝 它们是我的最爱,我们可以找到几个品种,几乎遍布整个大陆领土。 它们喜欢白垩土和低矮的灌木丛,花的长度不超过两厘米。 同样非常好奇的是,Serapia通过嘴唇的形状和微红的颜色吸引人们的注意,看起来就像花的舌头伸出来了。

其中一个物种实际上被称为 舌鳎鱼 而且,说到不同的形状,我不能不强调铰链式马卡的花( 意大利兰花 )和小脑瓜兰花( 兰花属植物 他们的花就像他们的名字一样,有小猴子和小男孩的形状。 兰斯 它们的小花以密集的穗状花序排列成一簇,也许是最丰富多彩的,有不同的白色、粉红色和紫色。

受保护的物种

还必须记住,所有的葡萄牙兰花品种都是受保护的,也是濒危的。 不要采摘花朵,欣赏它们,拍摄它们,而是把它们留下来,让它们授粉,确保它们继续存在。 也不要挖掉这些植物,因为它们非常脆弱,在花瓶中不茁壮成长。 它们最终会死去。走出去,玩得开心,但要负责任。
