    Default Goodyera pubescens - Downy rattlesnake plantain

    The final Arkansas Native Orchid that we found today was the most impressive in my opinion. It is called Goodyera pubescens and it is a jewel orchid. I have images of both the blooms (not that fantastic, but cool to find) and the foliage (really awesome). I took so many photos, I am going to have to reply to my own thread to share the 5 I narrowed my choices down to - to share with you.

    Anyway, here is Goodyera pubescens

    and a couple more shots. One to show scale and another to show how hard these guys were to spot out in the woods.

    The foliage is really cool, so delicate ...
    Not so cool about the ticks! Yikes!
