Not sure which species this is, I can only guess it is a Dactylorhiza sp. NE Turkey is never boring in botany.
Isatis sp. blooming in a distance on eastern Anatolian Plateau. I can’t tell which species it is, unfortunately. But I learnt species in this genus used to be the source of indigo dye in Europe.
Arnebia densiflora, about 2000m, eastern Anatolia. This species is used in traditional Turkish medicine to treat wounds. Also occurs in Greece.
