Orchid Family August 1, 2008 Corbin, KY
Orchid Family Height: 4" to 16" August 12, 2005 This is a very lovely orchid, the tiny white flowers spiral around the stem. If you ever wondered what purpose sweat bees serve (other than stinging and irritating people on hot summer days), note the pollinating sweat bee on the flowers in the middle of the stem. So, they actually are good for something! See next photo for close-up of the tiny flowers. Perennial Where seen:Oak Ridge Greenways, University of Tennessee Arboretum, Great Smoky Mountains NP, Warrior's Path SP
