Hi Dave and  Nancy
I did indeed err in the common name for this orchid. It is P. obtusata  =
which in the Flora of NS by Zinck is Blunt-leaved Rein Orchid and not =
Round. leaved.=20
I our original plan for the day,  John was going to take us first to a =
sample of Round-leaved Orchid he has seen in past years in Pictou Co. =
and I think somehow the round stuck with me when I went to write up my =
little journal of the day's trip. The Round-leaved Orchid will be =
another day although I have seen it a few times previous to this. Sorry =
for the confusion. I do not know why it is called a Rein Orchid. Thanks =
for pointing out this.=20

  Hi Ken,                                 July 13
      I somehow missed this earlier.  But I now notice that you refer to =
P. obtusata as the Round-leaf Rein Orchid. But the one leaf of P. =
obtusata is not at all round.=20
      So I wonder 1) if some book has this strange common name for =
obtusata or 2) did you mean P. orbiculata which does have a round leaf =
and is commonly called Round-leaf...
  Yt, Dave Webster, Kentville

    Hi Ken and All

    I was finally getting around to reading this post from Thurs on =
NatureNS and flipping through a field guide to see what some of the =
flowers mentioned looked like.

    I did not find Round-leaf Rein Orchid (Platanthera obtusata) but =
came across lots of Rein Orchids (P. spp and some Piperia).

    Do you have any idea why they are called "Rein" orchids?

      Hi all
      Yesterday, July 10, Adele Johnson, John Crabtree and I made a =
little trip to Port Bickerton (Guys) with a goal of finding the =
Round-leaf Rein Orchid (Platanthera obtusata) that last year in this =
forum, Rick Ballard had mentioned was in bloom just off the trails near =
the lighthouse. Thanks for the directions Rick.=20
