Orchids can be such unique plants and have very odd flowers. Yet, I LOVE THEM! This is a Lily-leaved Twayblade. I found it several years ago after it flowered. It is growing under a heavily leaved Rhodedendron. It gets a bit of sunlight in the late afternoon. The crest of the day it is deeply shaded. I thought I found two others after they flowered, growing about 10 feet away but haven't seen them yet. . . . #terrestrialorchid #nativeorchid #wncnativeplants #blueridgemountains #upperhickorynutgorge #southernappalachia #avl #gtown #ilovewhereilive #shadegarden #woodlandgarden #wncmountains (at Gerton Fire and Rescue) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxjArMzjugm/?igshid=575dqfesi68w
