This orchid's common name, the sombre or dull orchid, doesn't really describe this particular species of bee orchid very well. It is extremely variable in colour, and the species was divided into many sub-species. Some of these have now been separated into distinct species, for example, the Atlantic orchid, Ophrys atlantica.

The latest advances in wrought iron were used in its production, together with classic constructions such as quarry stone, reflected in its ten pilasters.
