Orchid surprise


Hidden in the leaf litter in our backyard we found these leaves.  It's a cranefly orchid!  (see here)
The leaves come out in the winter and disappear in the spring.  Later the flower comes up alone.  Each leaf is a separate plant, so we have a colony of hundreds!  We'll watch carefully for the flowers.
