Maianthemum purpureum ABJUL01/06

[Ashwini Bhatia]

I have never before looked closely at these mayflowers which are beginning to flower in good numbers here. Looking at the flowers today was a pleasant surprise when I found a horned but cute pink/green devil staring back at me (another one for the fantasy stories, Ushadi).  Please correct me if I am misidentifying it.

Himalayan Mayflower, Maianthemum purpureum

A very good find Ashwini Ji...
I think this should be Malaxis acuminata...a terrestrial orchid!!
Let the experts have their say..

Dear Nidhan Singh Ji,

I had a feeling that I was completely mistaken and how correct it was. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. It most certainly matches Malaxis acuminata. My first wild orchid then.

Many thanks,
Ashwini

I imagine why the name of this thread in Maianthemum purpureum?

Where did this name come from?

Pankaj

[Ashwini Bhatia]

This is because I had originally misidentified the orchid as the mayflower and the name stuck on as the thread subject remained the same.

I am not sure if the subject line of the same thread can be changed without losing the different discussions in the thread.

Thanks.

Ashwini

[J.M. Garg]

I think only better option is to start a new thread in such cases.
