Following on from the rave reviews of my little green thingies :-
..........when you compare it to the little green things that Fred G posted a month or two back it's positively fabulous.
I thought I'd post a little white thingy.
Goodyera pubescens, the
Rattlesnake Plantain, must be one of the most commonly found orchids native to eastern North America. The attractive variegated leaves are evergreen. It grows as a creeping terrestrial or occasionally epipetric plant that divides on the ground surface and sends out short stolons.
The initially regarded nondescript white flowers do deserve close examination, they are much more interesting from the nearer perspective with its white hairy lace-like petals tipped with green.
Slightly acidic soils are prefered.
