I can remember seeing it for the first time on a very dark forest floor where nothing else was growing and the bone-white plants stood out in the dim light like phantoms. Because it's mycotrophic, of course, it doesn't need much light, though the plants that we saw this week are in a more open area. They were everywhere.Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02396895652310296971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2622428321840240802.post-45384661564472868692013-06-15T02:29:05.775-07:002013-06-15T02:29:05.775-07:00I love Cephalenthera.

All this with Coralroots... such a tease :-)<br /> It seems our 3 Cephanlenthera species are not that rare as yours. C. rubra should be starting now. C. damasonium and C. longifolia are done for this year however. I did not make many pictures worth showing this year however.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09165108629079106354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2622428321840240802.post-59630858823225555412013-06-14T20:47:01.746-07:002013-06-14T20:47:01.746-07:00Yes, that was quite a week, Martin.

The Fairy Slipper we had seen in British Columbia, but not here in Washington and the same for the Yellow Lady's Slipper, but the mixed population was really something to see with what were obviously natural hybrid between the two species.<br /><br />We want to go back to the place where we saw the Fairy Slippers next year to look for the natural hybrid between the two varieties. It's very rare but has been seen in that location and I'm determined to find it. We were a little late this year.<br /><br />We were out this week again to a site where there are several hundred Mountain Lady's Slippers and to another place that has Phantom Orchids by the thousands as well as some really unusual Coralroots.Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02396895652310296971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2622428321840240802.post-52282033529448255082013-06-14T15:50:19.040-07:002013-06-14T15:50:19.040-07:00Wow!

The one's I found in sweden were mostly white lipped, but there also at least one with a pink lip. However I do not know if that is special for the european variant. Interesting to see how different the subspecies really are.<br /><br />It is a pleasure to see the different coralroots too, especially since I missed Corallorhiza trifida. Maybe I get a second chance in the German and Austrian Alps, tho our aim is to find Nigritella species there.<br /><br />Nice pictures of te lady slippers too. I bet it was quite te display. We have only one species. This year I missed it in Germany, but saw it in Estonia by the roadside from the car. <br /><br />Thanks for the nice pictures and the articles. I enjoy those a lot.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09165108629079106354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2622428321840240802.post-6098052914496560362013-06-10T07:28:08.053-07:002013-06-10T07:28:08.053-07:00It was really odd, Marti, to see these plants, whi...It was really odd, Marti, to see these plants, which looked exactly like the Ozettes from a distance, and find that they were spotted.
