Yellow Fringeless Orchid (Platanthera integra)

[prem]

Sometimes known as Habenaria integra, this is a native of wet pinelands, roadsides, prairies, and fens from central Florida into New Jersey. You can read more about the trip to photograph these on my blog site:

Thanks for looking!

Lovely Prem. This is one of my favorites of the fringed lip Platantheras.

I bet they are very rare up that far north. I wouldn't call them common further south either, just more numerous. The best populations I ever saw were in the Florida panhandle.

Maybe Great Lakes Orchids will sell these in the future? They have Plantathera for sale:
