Description

All orchids of Wild Ozark bloom at different times. I’ll update here with pics of each and how they look for the various dates scheduled for the walks. Even without blooms, the leaves of Rattlesnake plantain are gorgeous and worth seeing.

  • Showy Orchid (Galearis spectabilis)
  • Lily-leaved Twayblade (Liparis lilifolia)
  • Adam and Eve orchid (Aplectrum hyemale)
  • Rattlesnake plantain (Goodyera pubescens)

Other orchids we could possibly encounter include Lady’s Tresses (Spiranthes cernua) and Three Birds orchid (Triphora trianthophora).

The Tway-blade orchids are just sending up flower stalks as of May 2:

Today I’ll go out to see if the Adam and Eve and Rattlesnake plantain orchids are there.
