304_0496 [Spiranthes spiralis] |
Spiranthes spiralis: A small wild orchid with an unusual shape.
Its small whitish flowers (up to 5 mm wide) appear spirally around the upper part of its 10-15 cm stalk, providing a good reason for it to be called ‘spiralis’. It can be found in various European countries, North Africa and all the way to Iran.
It blooms in October and November.
