Isotria [Whorled Pogonia Orchids]
Out of the two dozen Large Whorled Pogonia [Isotria verticillata] that I found this year this was the only one to set a seed pod,which is about normal for me.Dauphin County,Pa.6-27-19.Amazingly pictured with last years plant to the right.
I have been fortunate over the years to have seen many Large Whorled Pogonia,but this specimen at 20 inches tall was the largest I ever encountered.A real giant with a huge flower.Dauphin County,Pa.5-16-19 [Isotria verticillata] .I was actually on my knees taking a picture of normal size pogonia,when something kept hitting on the side of my face,when finally I looked and out of the corner of my eye to see what it was- and there it was this giant-I never even noticed it till then.Nature sure can be full of surprises!
