Thanks Ray. I appreciate the help. I wonder how it got a foothold in my yard. It must be one very hardy orchid.

I actually like these. They have no chance of escaping into the will in north Georgia - it gets too cold. Nice foliage, and nice but small flowers.

It shows up every year in my yard. If it is in the grass it gets mowed over. If it is in a mulched area I usually just leave it alone.
