Southern Oval Ladies'-Tresses (Spiranthes ovalis)
Southern Oval Ladies'-Tresses (Spiranthes ovalis)
Southern oval ladies'-tresses, also known as October ladies' tresses blooming in an isolated forest in North Florida. This particular orchid is quite hard to find, and has a cool feature - instead of the usual corkscrew spiraling of flowers, the flowers bloom in three straight rows. Very cool-looking from above - almost triangular!
