Cranefly orchid - Tipularia discolor

18 years ago

The flower stalk is up. Here's a picture of the buds along the top of the flower stalk. I'll keep watching and hopefully catch it in full bloom.

I also just noticed a bloom stalk on my rattlesnake plantain (goodyera). Here's a picture (not mine).

Oh,I'm jealous! Mine are still to young to bloom.I did however manage to get one goodyera started from seed. I'm babying that little darling,hopingI don't kill it.

County bush hogged down the stand of lady tresses I was watching and waiting for ripe seed. Grrrrrr!!!!

Very hot and dry here. What a nice surprize today, both cranefly orchid and rattlesnake plantain in full bloom. First time they've bloomed in several years. I'm always careful not to let RP get smothered with fallen leaves in the winter. Orchids are so mysterious and that is what makes them special.
