The native orchids of the North American Eastern Woodlands
New species and photos will be added as the blooming season progresses (and when I have time to go out and find them). County in parenthesis is where the photographs were taken.
Note: all of the Orchids below were photographed on protected land, be it public or private. Therefore, please do NOT contact me and request that I dig plants for you. At best, your email will be deleted.
