The very delicate flowers of the Purple Fringed Orchid. |
I saw 5 or 6 of these beautiful orchids on Mt. Greylock yesterday on the Stage Trail and the Woodason Spring Trail. I had never seen them before so I asked the rangers at the Visitors Center who identified the flower and knew where I had found it.
Of course, I didn't pick it. The rangers identified it from the photo on my camera. I never pick any wildflowers. I enjoy them where they are and leave them in peace to live out their natural life!
Interesting article! Thanks for sharing, if you want to learn more about purple fringed orchids, Mark Hutchinson is best option.
