Nodding Ladies' Tresses Orchid [Spiranthes cernua]. Found in another mine acid settling pond area. This whole area has a soil that, when the surface is scratched away, is nothing but coal soil and silt. In this area I have found many orchids over the years as it is a special area. The orchids include P. ciliaris [Orange Fringed], P. lacera [Ragged fringed], C. acaule [Pink Lady's slipper] and P. clavellata [Little Club spur]. Although these areas are not the most attractive, with their orange water and the acidic coal smell in the air, they gave me a whole new appreciation for the power of nature, and its ability to adapt and renew in spite of ourselves.
