Really liked that Purple fringed orchid. I sure didn't realize that many orchids could be found in michigan!!
I'll try this again soon. M
flowerdave, isn't that Purple Fringed Orchid something, and there it is growing on its own.
You found the Nodding Ladies' Tresses, that still blooms this time of the year, another orchid that flowers now is the Autumn Coralroot.
I found this book at the library, it's good.
