Yesterday I was walking a mowed spiral trail on my buddies property. I saw a group of flowers I wanted to photograph. As I cut through the field, I stopped, glanced down and BAM, saw this Spiranthes lacera or Nodding Lady's Tresses. What a great surprise! It seems i always find orchids when I'm not looking for them. . . . #spiranthes #spirantheslacera #ladystresses #noddingladystresses #terrestrialorchid #nativeorchids #orchidsofinstagram #orchidspecies #orchidflower #orchid #nativewildflowers #nativeplants #wildflower #wncmountains #southernappalachia #blueridgemountains #upperhickorynutgorge #iloveplants #iloveorchids #ilovegardening #ilovewhereilive #maker #inspiration (at Gerton, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSRzCryrcBQ/?utm_medium=tumblr
