Color Variants of European Orchids
Color variants can be albinos, which are lacking chlorophyll and are only able to survive by nutrients obtained in another way, e.g. mycotrophously, i.e. from fungus braids in the soil. Color variations can also be white flowers (yellow or greenish for Ophrys), which are caused genetically, if a pigment (anthocyanin) is not built up. Also over-coloring is a kind of color variant.
