Orchid from Kalatope, Dalhousie

[Alok Mahendroo]

Dear friends,
I used to think Dalhousie was too cold for Orchids.. and indeed none of
the local flower fans know of any Orchids to be found here... but I have
till now found at least six different wild orchids at our altitude...
here is one more...
Cephalanthera longifolia

regards
Alok

Keep searching. You will get more. Your area is pretty unexplored.
This is the season for some rare terrestrial ones.
And keep sharing too.
Best wishes.
