This one was growing in my father in-laws backyard and I thought I would take a few pics.

Featured in Wildflowers of North America -February 23, 2009 / Featured in Endangered Plants – January 17, 2009 The Rose Pogonia Orchid, aka Snakemouth Orchid grows in bogs and fens. / The solitary flower blooms at the top of a short stem. These plants are no more than about 6-8” tall. There is a single leaf near the base of the stem. Loss of native orchid species and their habitat is a significant environmental problem in Manitoba, Canada as it is all over the world. Habitat loss is the primary threat to native orchid species. Most of our orchid species grow in or adjacent to wetlands and Manitoba has lost 70% of its wetlands since 1900. Another critical orchid habitat, for our three endangered species, is the Tall Grass Prairie. We have less than 1% of our Tall Grass Prairie remaining. Agriculture and housing development, resource extraction such as logging and mining, and wetland drainage are all major causes of habitat loss. Failure to thrive, including an inability to reproduce sexually due to pollinator loss, disease and environmental stress, are all related to habitat loss and/or modification / They are rare due to forestry cutting, destruction of their habitat and loss of wetlands. They are very particular to the areas they can survive. Photographed in south-eastern Manitoba where I live. / /

Beautiful white spider orchid – Caladenia longicauda This orchid was collected by James Drummond in 1839 and named by John Lindley in the following year. Eleven subspecies are currently recognised. All have predominantly white flowers with long filamentous petals and sepals. During spring it can be found in bushland, particularly Jarrah forests. It has a single green hairy leaf 10-15 cms long and 0.5 -2 cms wide which is marked with reddish-purple spots near the base. The flower stem is 25-60cms tall and bears one to four creamy white flowers of 7-10 cm across, which are marked with red or pink. The filamentous petals and lateral sepals which are up to 10 cms long, curve downwards and hang. There are currently thirteen subsepecies of Caladenia longicauda known. Info from Orchids of the South-West – Dept Environ & Conservation booklet This orchid, the one and only for me this season, was found at Bunkers Bay in SW Western Australia.
