Platanthera yosemitensis, a newly described American sp.
Just when you thought there couldn't be anymore orchids out there. Hehe, scientists have found and described a new, and foul smelling orchid which lives in the bogs of Yosemite national Park. Read more about it in the following link:
New orchid smells like 'sweaty feet' - Yahoo! News

Eewww!!! beat me to it Tindo...can't wait until Paul Martin Brown brings back some  s and shares with us hobbist of his findings.  He stated he will add this to his new orchid book.
My first thought was another bulbo (sad to say those bulbo get a bad wrap  ) but a ghost orchid, guess the defense of survival.

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

"sweaty feet"
Hi,
This article was in our local news paper yesterday and I couldn't find it on their website but I found it in the Sac Bee. I thought I would share with all of you if you all don't already know. This is practically in my back yard, I'm looking forward to checking it out.
