A Gentle ReminderOur wild orchids are best left in the wild. That is where they have grown up and that is whatthey have become use to. Terrestrial orchids depend upon mycorrhizal fungal associations tosurvive. These mycorrhizal conditions are not typically available in people‟s yards. Most wildobtained plants that are brought out of the woods will die a year or two at best after transplanting -assuming you can get close to recreating their habitat conditions at home. So it is best to leave themwhere you find them. Pictures will last longer. A few, large, modern-day greenhouses are nowstarting to figure out the associations that are necessary to grow these wonderful orchids. Every yearthey become more and more available. The Cypripedium species are the first of these beingcommercially grown and sold. So let‟s buy them from these folks and save a possible fine or jail timefor removal of wild native flowers. The hunt for and the actual finding of these orchids is amazinglyfun and challenging. The satisfaction of finding these in the wild is an immense pleasure. Afterspending hours and hours, sometimes days, searching for these plants, only to find them trampled orremoved is an extreme let down. So let‟s try and leave them for others to have the same funexperiences.130
