Index of Subjects Hi Andy, it is a 'new' orchid to the province (don't know exactly how new in decades) and in fact it can be weedlike from what I hear. Seems to be all over North America. There is an area near Smileys park that has what I would guess to be a hundred plants. It is also growing in the park it's self.When I led the field trip for Nature Canada last year, one of the participants found a white form which I thought was a bit special. Your daughter should consider herself lucky to have it. I know I would think myself lucky to have a wild orchid in my garden.

[ HELLEBORINE] a wild species of the Orchid family. Our ancient copy of Roland's Flora of Nova Scotia doesn't include the species which leads us to wonder what the status is in the province. Anyone?
