Bloom Time - Nodding Ladies' Tresses

Spiranthes cernua. A native Pinelands orchid.


Which is blooming in our bog garden as I type.


I'm not sure how it got there. I keep receipts for the plants I buy to plant in the bog. But I've not one for this plant. Nor do I remember planting this.


We have received plants from friends gardens. And as noted above I've purchased plants for the bog. So it's possible this was a hitchhiker. Or maybe it got here on its own. And maybe it's been here a while and with the deer fence finally has a chance to bloom.

However it got here were glad it did. And if this is what the deer fence allows I can't wait for next spring.
