2006 Photograph, Puttyroot
Leaf (Aplectrum
hyemale), one of our native orchids found in rich deciduous woods,
Fairfax Villa Park, Fairfax, Virginia
©
2006. A bit of FYI from your friendly naturalist: These leaves
are only seen from late fall through mid-spring.
When the orchid flowers, there is just the floral stem and nothing else
to be seen. This photograph was taken in March and the flowers are
seen in May.
