On the trail of wild orchids
From spring to autumn, wild orchids populate the natural spaces of Lauragais. Their graceful silhouettes and shimmering colors delight the eyes of walkers and nature lovers. We spot them by the dozen along the edges of hiking trails, on road embankments, and on lakeshores.
But do we really know them? Over time, flowers have developed a sophisticated survival instinct. As winter approaches, they burrow into the ground, patiently waiting for the return of warmer weather.
These wonders of Mother Nature hide many secrets. Come observe and photograph them with us on the shores of Lake Vallègue.
