I agree, wonderful. I always like the look of Spiranthes. Interesting that it's found in Europe as well.

Yes, it ranges around the world. We have three species here in Washington and there are many more in other parts of the USA.

Awesome. I just planted some Nodding Ladies' Tresses (S. cernua) in my garden this year, they should bloom any day now. I'll get a picture up once they do. The different species have such interesting looks to them. I like how this one is sideways as opposed to twisting.

This one tends to be quite a bit shorter than some of the others as well. Look forward to seeing your pictures.

You should come out in the "country" some time and see these wonders, Bud.
