The Ophrys are orchids of particularly aesthetic and complex forms, the lower petal called the "labellum", mimics the hairy body of wild bees. Attracted by these forms and the scent copying the pheromones of female bees, the male bees after being tricked, go from flower to flower transferring pollen. The Ophrys of Sarato (Ophrys saratoi), is present on these lawns during spring, a protected species, endemic to Provence and Dauphiné (Picking is prohibited!).
