Empiricist: JEWELS IN THE MOST UNLIKELY PLACES chatterbox, and Washington State yielded a race of Spiranthes romanzoffiana, hooded ladies’-tresses, growing in vacant lots near Sequim. Lastly, don’t be afraid to explore in your own back yard. We have found many orchids within a mile of our winter home in Florida. All you have to do is look and be open to the possibilities that an orchid might be there. There have even been records of orchids coming up in the crack in the cement sidewalks where the broad-leaved helleborine, Epipactis helleborine, can be quite at home. With an open mind and a keen eye you might just find a few jewels of your own! Good Exploring!

SOME NORTH AMERICAN ORCHID FACTOIDS SOME NORTH AMERICAN ORCHID FACTOIDS (Updated for August 2006) Did You Know???? There are 210 species plus an additional 3 subspecies and 24 varieties of native orchids found in North America north of Mexico for a total of 237? (Note: Opinions will always vary as to the precise number as different orchidists view species differently. The old lumpers vs. the splitters! This number takes the more open approach and embraces as many species as have been described. From a very conservative standpoint the number might be reduced to 234). We also have 14+ non-native or alien species that have been documented as naturalized, introduced, escaped, waifs, etc. Of these only 6 are truly naturalized and reproducing in populations in the wild. • Cyrtopodium polyphyllum southern Florida • Epipactis helleborine much of the temperate United States and sparingly in Canada • Listera ovata southern Ontario • Oeceoclades maculata southern and central Florida • Spathoglottis plicata southern Florida • Zeuxine strateumatica southeastern United States Both Dactylorhiza species founding Ontario and Newfoundland are of questionable origin. For the combined total of 251 species, subspecies, and varieties that have been found growing in the wild in the North America north of Mexico plus more than 200 named color and growth forms: 112 species are found only in the US and Canada 39
