| 804_1601 Spiranthes spiralis |
Spiranthes spiralis is a small wild orchid
with a characteristic spiral arrangement
of its tiny, whitish flowers around its spike.
It grows in dry forest clearings, meadows and open scrub
on altitudes of up to 600m (sometimes higher)
and flowers from September to November in all parts of Greece.
Its leaves appear early in Autumn
but they fully develop in Spring.
It is also found in many European countries.
The picture is from the foot of Mt. Hymittos.
