Is this the happiest flower in the world? Ophrys apifera is a hardy species of orchid found commonly in the Mediterranean region. Referring to that dark red monobrow it has there, 'Ophrys' derives from the Greek word 'ophrys', meaning "eyebrow", while the Latin word 'apifera' refers to the bee-shaped lip. For this reason, the flower is often called the bee orchid.
