Liparis liliifolia [Lily Leaved Twayblade]

The Strange and beautiful flower of Lily leaved Twayblade orchid [Liparis liliifolia]. North East, Pa. 6-9-22. This year only one of the 4 to 6 plants had bloomed and the deer ate all the flowers but one, and it was barely hanging on, so I propped it up with a stick-I guess its better than no flowers at all!
