Kentuckiense

[cnycharles]

The plant I found last year wasn't flowering so I had to search for another area I'd been told about. Couldn't remember the directions so had to follow edge of swamp looking for plants or flowers. I finally found a plant, and then just found the colony! Some are yellow, some whitish

Gasp! I really want to see this species in the wild.

I'd like to see it too. Wow.

Looks like a fun trip. It is neat to see truly yellow forms of this species. I've only seen ones with white/beige lips. That place looks like tick/chigger heaven!

 

[cnycharles]

No ticks there, just that thorny vine that rips up your legs

That area looks like a very healthy stand of Cyps. They
are lovely, aren't they?

What a wonderful sight! That laurel is pretty too. Thank you for sharing. :clap:

Cool. Thanks for sharing. Maybe you should put some long pants on!?

 

[Erythrone]

Too darn hot; I usually would wear shorts and use bug spray but the barbed wire may make me rethink that policy
When I used to hunt deer up to my uncles sometimes I'd wear really coarse sweats if I had to go through the blackberry bushes. Thorns didn't get through but after a season or so they started falling apart because the threads were getting shredded (but better them than me )

Is that pawpaw tree in the shot with the laurel.

Those kentuckensis look huge!

 

[cnycharles]

Oh; don't know pawpaw. Yes they are huge!
I can't get the third video to play, if anyone else has the same problem I'll try and redo it

Thanks for the tour. I would love to see these in the wild at some point as well.
