<![CDATA[I spotted another orchid in the forest earlier this week.]]>I spotted another orchid in the forest earlier this week. The orchids are so small that I almost missed them. The plant is 20 to 55 cm tall but the flowers are tiny at 5 to 10 mm. I have cropped one of my photos to show you the flower.

* Edit: the name of the flower is Spotted coralroot (Corallorhiza maculata).

They were in a coniferous forest on a bed of moss with some leaf litter.

They are so neat. I usually spot these in leaf litter and duff.
