I'm hoping for one of the two natives that you mention, but it would be interesting to get Epipactis as well.Scott Namestnikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04039569660182814907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920285342579923379.post-12479947222916405372012-10-19T17:21:27.169-04:002012-10-19T17:21:27.169-04:00Congrats on another orchid find, Scott.

I also think Spiranthes ovalis and Spiranthes magnicamporum could show up there.Keith Boardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09083771082232156983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920285342579923379.post-1799101591349043802012-07-23T22:43:58.795-04:002012-07-23T22:43:58.795-04:00Thanks Heather!

The finds are a little easier when they're right along the trail I mow through our property. <br /><br />Regarding orchids in disturbed sites, not sure if you read the comments on one of my other "orchid in my backyard" type posts (http://handlensandbinoculars.blogspot.com/2009/09/lindsay-and-scotts-orchid-farm.html), but there is a lengthy discussion about the ability of several orchids to withstand (even require in my opinion) some form of disturbance.Scott Namestnikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04039569660182814907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920285342579923379.post-78948270804728308732012-07-23T22:32:04.418-04:002012-07-23T22:32:04.418-04:00Thanks Steph!

It's interesting that these orchids seem to occur in somewhat disturbed sites.Heather Holmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12614164765858960174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920285342579923379.post-84130483774595588962012-07-23T11:48:52.787-04:002012-07-23T11:48:52.787-04:00Congratulations on orchid #3!

They were L. loeselii. The white-to-pale straw colored flowering stalks and remaining fruit pieces really stood out among the drabber winter duff and these remained upright, although less than 10" tall. I confirmed this too with Mike Homoya who explained he has seen it as a colonizing orchid in recent years as well. <br />I vote for Sprianthes cernua as the next orchid you find in your land.Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05510819019158049712noreply@blogger.com
