There's something incredibly satisfying about coming across a natural meadow of native orchids in our wetlands on Lake Arrowhead. It's a glorious, uplifting sight in bog habitats.
This late spring bloomer, called Rose pogonia or Adder's mouth, has a bearded lower petal, and is pollinated by bees.
Aaaaahhh, I just can't get enough of their uniqueness and beauty in such great numbers. Happy!
