Paul and others, the Spiranthes orchids you see in September are likely
S.cernua, S.ochroleuca or S. casei var. novascotiae.
S.romanzoffiana generally blooms at the end of July and into the first part of
August. But nature likes to keep us on our toes so who knows.!
The romanzoffiana orchid can be found quite easily beside the road leading to
Baccaro light.
The other Spiranthes mentioned above can be found on wet lake shores and
ditches especially around Dartmouth and Halifax. They also love to hybridize so
that makes them even more difficult to ID.
Good find Paul. Now I have to ask, did you take a good smell as many of these
are highly scented ?
Hope this helps those who are still looking down.
