Spiranthes laciniata in situ

[cnycharles]

This is a very rare native orchid in New Jersey. I knew of a few spots where this could be in the pine barrens, but in the last few years either the weather changed or prevented flowering or people moving canoes from the batsto river to the road (or photographers) trampled the plants






Mike h taking pic of one of the two plants. They are in a small open savannah that always stays wet and often floods

Other cool plants

Nice Charles. Your pics remind me so much of my days botanizing with my dad in as a kid. It is great to see this species thriving in the state.

Maybe someday I will l have kids I can drag around to all of these orchid places. By the time I was into natives my father had Alzheimer’s and I did take him to a few places but couldn’t go anywhere it would be too involved in getting in and out

Is the pink blooming plant a Rhexia?

What's the pink one in the first photo?

 

[cnycharles]

It’s a lobelia, I’d have to ask one of my friends because I keep forgetting which one

Pretty sure that is L. canbyi.

I think you are right. There is also l nutallii but page says canbyi has a thicker stem
