While I strive to encourage wild flowers in my lawn, I was surprised to see that this orchid had come up in the front yard. It is called a Striped Coralroot ( Corallorhiza striata). I have seen the plant before growing in the bush, but this is the first time I have found it in my front yard.
While people generally think of orchids growing in tropical areas, there are quite a few that grow in British Columbia.
