I love orchids! Oh hell, i just love plants!!! This diminutive orchid is commonly called Fall Corsl Root is growing just off my kitchen deck and all along my driveway. It is a type of plant that has little or no chlorophyll. All its nutrients are supplied by mycorrhizal fungi. It has no leaves. In the fall it sends up a stem with up to 26 small flowers. Most often, these flowers never open and self pollinate. . . . #nativeorchids #terrestrialorchid #coralroot #coralrootorchid #corallorhiza #orchidsofinstagram #orchid #woodlandgarden #shadegarden #wildflower #wncmountains #blueridgemountains #gtown #upperhickorynutgorge #maker #inspiration #ilovegardening #ilovewhereilive (at Gerton, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1sPW1WguUA/?igshid=1ud5e4ive09wv
