Lost And Found

When we first moved into our present house, there was a small colony of Loessel's twayblade orchids growing in a grassy clearing, but our woods is a succession woodland, regenerating from being logged previously, and therefore it's getting much shadier, and as the twayblades like a sunnier location, they died out before I knew what was happening. I'd not seen one for several years, and sadly thought they were gone forever. The other day, though, I noticed a little plant popping up in one of my flower beds which looked strangely familiar, and I realized it's a single plant of Loessel's twayblade, that has grown from seed. Posted by Picasa
