While mucking about the web looking up orchids, I found this site with
these 2 pictures. I want one of the plants. It is the greatest
bumble bee orchid I have seen. Does anyone know its name and where I
can buy it?

Now that one IS great! I know Andy had a orchid as his orchid of the day a
couple weeks ago that he advertises as 'a bumblebee' but it didn't look like
that one....you might want to drop him a line anyway?

This pictures look a little odd to me--doctored, to be blunt.

OTOH, if they are real, these things are probably European
terrestrials--not easy to find or grow.

Sorry to disappoint you, but the orchid in this picture is a fake.
It is supposed to be an Ophrys species, but none of them looks like
that.
Ophrys are terrestrials, hard to get outside of europe and difficult
to cultivate, especially for those who have no experience with
terrestrial orchids.
