“Ghost orchid sprout”
A ghost orchid was sprouting from humus in a wooded area. The number of this ghost orchid is declining everywhere. The sprout is bending its neck. After a few days, it will stand upright and hang a number of small flowers. [JUNE 2021]
Epipogium roseum
数が減少している腐生ランのひとつ、タシロラン。初夏に腐葉土から芽生えます。立ち上がると、いくつもの花を垂らします。その姿は幽霊にも妖精にも見立てられます。
