Here are pictures of a fairly common, but nonetheless beautiful native orchid.

nice!

No Goodyeras in this part of Florida, and even the one site in northern Florida where a few have been found appears to be lost.

I so love the ones with tiny flowers on a spike like this. Great to see the plant as well, it has pretty leaves even when not in flower.

Thanks, Rosie. The leaves are always recognizable even when it's not in flower.
