Summary
| Description |
Galearis spectabilis, the Showy Orchis. As wild orchids go in the East, this one is relatively common. I come across it the most in deciduous Appalachian Mountain woods, but I have seen it in plenty other places where the woods have not been turned under for crops in the past. Note the small spur at the bottom of the flower, unlike other cheating Orchids this one actually gives potential pollinators a little drink of nectar.
