orchis: wild orchids in bloom

Park Orobie Bergamasche

After careful research and experimentation came the first successes of the project Orchis Germination tests conducted Researchers at the Center on native flora species of wild orchids Ophrys Ophrys benacensis sonoandati sphegodes and successful: in the greenhouses of Native Flora Centre you can see the first blooms.
great satisfaction for these early results, but The trial continues, other seeds of wild orchids from the Park Orobie Bergamasche are currently tested for germination.

last few days are some flowering plants and Ophrys Ophrys sphegodes benacensis is the first example in Italy of breeding and cultivation of native orchids and endemic (now rare in the area).

Just arrived in the biodiversity of the first successes of the project Orchids (Orchid Restocking and Conservation for Higher altitude Indigenous Species), project co-financed by the Fondazione Cariplo he sees the park as partners Orobie Bergamasche as lead agency, the Park Monte Barro CAI Bergamo, Italy WWF el'ALAO Association (Lombard Amateur Orchid) as technical partner. Orchis

The project, begun in 2008, has its roots in the fact that the pre-Alps of Lombardy is a region with high biodiversity of flora, exposed to environmental risks associated with direct human pressure and global climate change. In this context, native orchids are a key group for the protection of biodiversity: they combine it particularly vulnerable to an ecology specialist and a preference for endangered habitats. The consequence of this is that for many species of orchids protection
traditional and special laws are not sufficient resources and must therefore resort to ad hoc policy of conservation. And the project has among its objectives to promote ex situ propagation of some wild orchids foothills, producing plants to boost the natural populations and thus prevent the local extinction. To do this, all plants reproduced for this project by the CFA will be used to reinforce natural populations, with particular reference to orchids orobiche, in full compliance with the genetic characteristics.
