It's also a species of concern in MO (S2), so a heritage record to boot. Thanks for the heads up. I plan to return to see the blossoms: it had a stalk with old seedheads on it from last year.Susan and Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07298024546656165818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-675935764461060188.post-74458358035126591762011-04-02T07:32:03.398-07:002011-04-02T07:32:03.398-07:00I'm grateful for your comment Dana.

When I encounter sterile specimens (not just orchids even), I often think "I should re-visit these plants when they're in bloom", but I never actually DO it. You have given me motivation to follow through with the plan next time. We can learn so much more about species when we see them throughout their life cycle!

I've seen the leaves on several occasions (further south, where the species is more common), but I've only seen it in flower once. I might have walked right by had someone not pointed it out, as the flowers were nearly invisible. Your photo sure does them justice!Scott Namestnikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04039569660182814907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-675935764461060188.post-32039524975019726452011-04-01T06:52:05.339-07:002011-04-01T06:52:05.339-07:00Good stuff, Pete, and excellent pictures!

I commonly find evidence of all three within a baseball's throw of each other (sorry, had to get a baseball reference in on Opening Day :) )Andrew Lane Gibsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01555125434346996812noreply@blogger.com
