at 145mm, 1/200 f/13.0, ISO 200, hand held. Parco dei Colli Euganei, Italy.

“Militare” perché la forma del fiore ricorda un uomo con un elmetto in testa. In Italia è diffusa nelle aree collinari e montane soprattutto al Nord, più rara al Centro e assente al Sud e nelle isole. È una pianta erbacea geofita bulbosa, con fusto alto 20–60 cm, di colore violaceo. L'apparato radicale è costituito da due rizotuberi tondeggianti. Predilige i suoli calcarei, in piena luce o a mezz'ombra, da 0 a 1800 m di altitudine.
