Question
I have these wild orchids all over the property, and I love them. More and more grow every year. Are they rare? I think they areDactylorhiza viridis. Is this correct?Sorry, the image will only load sideways for some reason. Thank you. Ellen
Answer
Dear eyenawine, good morning. The plant in your images is Epipactis helleborine (broad-leaved helleborine), a non-native (but non-invasive) orchid from Europe. It has become relatively common in the northeast over the past few decades. Best wishes.
