<p>April 19, 2026 | Muciafora (Arezzo), Tuscany, Italy.<br />
A two-week transition from cold, dreary rain to warm spring sunshine brought the Tuscan landscape to life this April. Wildflowers quickly carpeted the meadows, including the beautiful Lady Orchid (Orchis purpurea).<br />
Common across Southern and Central Europe, these orchids typically bloom in Tuscany starting in mid-April. This specimen was found thriving among the olive trees, tucked into the cool, shaded northern base of the trunks.</p>
