For many years I’ve been doing native orchid trips to try and take photos. A number of times I’ve been looking for one thing, but get surprised and find something else completely.
last week, was talking to supervisor about my recently looking for orchids on cape May and that they were like the Spiranthes orchids that we used to grow. She informed me that occasionally some Spiranthes would pop up in some of our stock plant pots and she would pull them out. ‘As a matter of fact’ she said ‘there are some out there now’.
I wondered what the shiny leaves were (d’oh) but hadn’t pulled any myself
The pointy leaves are Spiranthes
