Depicting all of Indiana's native orchids as accounted for in Orchids of Indiana by Mike Homoya
This video represents more than eight years of orchid hunting and photography of Indiana's native orchids. It includes six species now considered to be extirpated from the state. Three of those were photographed by me in Michigan, Ohio, and Washington. The remaining three by friends in Michigan and Ohio, Aaron Strouse, and Andrew Lane Gibson. Derek Luchik contributed the photo of Spiranthes ochroleuca.

I am glad you posted about this video. I love his book and the video is great. It will be fun to watch when the snow is deep this winter.
I do love our native orchids here in Minnesota though becoming harder and harder to find...:(
Thank you Lisa Let's hope we have a short winter.
Troutbirder, I am currently reading "Orchids of Minnesota" by Welby R. Smith. It's interesting to note that our two states have the same number of orchid taxa (43), but 12 or yours are not found in Indiana. I would love to visit Minnesota to see those.
Awe Pete this is fabulous work! Many of these shots look like perfection. Thanks so much for all of your work to show the world the beauty of Indiana's orchids. This slideshow is absolutely stunning!! Thanks, Pete, for being exactly who you are!
Thanks Keith,
Your favorable opinion is worth a great deal to me.
