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.

Wevisited our daughter in Middleton this afternoon 
and discovered she has a 'weed'growing in her 
garden which we identified asEpipactis 
helleborine. [ 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?
Thanks,
