They are invading my mind. O
Anyhow, I came to this place to look for the rare orchid Epipogium aphyllum, but it was absent this year.
But instead I found these three and other cute stuff.

gee! you have Epipogium where you live, the best I've got is Epipactis gigantea, I need to fly to canada to even see a Corallorhiza, those are tricky little things.

Yeah, but the E. aphyllum is quite rare, but I think it's mostly overlooked, due to being able to lay dormant for more then 5 years. It's more common in the northern parts though. I think it will prove to be the hardest one to find in my quest to have seen all the Swedish ones.
Ah. Those damn Collorhiza, I've seen C. trifida 3 or 4 times, but they are near impossible to find. XD

wanna talk about pain in the butt dormancy? I was looking for Isortias in northern Georgia once and turns out the have a 12 year resting period between blooms and well, look like little tree seedlings between those. it's easy to see them when they do show up, a 8 inch pink and white flower is pretty hard to miss.

Yeah, especially in spruce forest which this local was.
Can you give the latin name, can't seem to find anything by just Isortia/Isortias.

Oh. That one looks interesting. It's rare?
Reply
:icontigerlover2011:
I think so, it's listed as locally common but it might as well be because it's so hard to find the stupid thing.

One species, Calypso bulbosa, I yet to see in bloom. But that one is also fantastic. I saw its leaves a month or so after the flowering period, watching other flowers in the same area.
