The photo of the month is a Dactylorhiza sambucina (L.) Soó photographed on May 2023 at Řetenice (Nicov), Czech Republic, by Michele Lussu from the University of Bologna. The maintenance of the two morphotypes (flower red/purple and flowers yellow) is due to a negative frequency-dependent selection. This color variation it is linked to its pollination strategy in which the plant deceives the pollinator by promising nectar.
