Wildflowers of KY - Cranefly Orchid by Derek Coomer 2018-08-08 - Photo by Derek Coomer. Just sending along a photo of an overlooked late summer wildflower. The cranefly orchid spends most of the year as a single leaf on the forest floor. The leaves are easy to recognize because the topside is dark green and the underside a deep purple. In July they send up a stalk of brown flowers, not as showy as their cousins the lady's-slippers, but beautiful in their own way. - DC Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

The entire tunnel under the LBN Parkway is lined with dozens of clusters like the one above. Didn't get a chance to count the individual nests, but would estimate at least 200. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
