SD, are you positively smiley about #8?  Our Juncus effusus look strikingly different to yours :D  The Juncus family have round section, hollow stems and leaves.  Yours seem to have blade type leaves, suggesting a member of the Cyperaceae familyu.

On a different note, you've got us totally bamboozled on round 1, #4.  I thought I had it, but the more I look, the more the confusion.  Can not even determine the family.  Is it a Brassicaceae and how many stamens does it have ???

Yes it's Juncus, the flower heads have not elongated yet. It is as you described. It's growing in a wet trail, heavily traveled by moose.  ;D

Onagraceae Evening primrose family.  Same family as fireweed in round two. ;D

D'oh.  Onagraceae.  Of course it is.  :-[

Our glades are currently ablaze with fireweed!

Funny how some people will scoff at fireweed and plant that dang lupen in the yard. Don't look any better to me.  ;D :D :D I always said, we plant other people's weeds and overlook our own.  ;)

Need help with this orchid to ID
« Reply #46 on: August 05, 2007, 10:02:55 am »
Was out for a stroll this morning. Walked into a sensitive area with overstory aspen. Many herbs include purple trillium (very big leaves), jewel weed, rattlesnake root and sarsaparilla.

What I found is this orchid, which as similar leaves as the yellow lady slipper, but with many small orchid-like flowers on a terminal spike. I tried like the dickens to get a well focused flower, but I was running low on battery power. I saw at least 40 plants in the area and the dominant ones were probably 16 inches tall.





Can't find it in Audubon. I'm thinking it's uncommon, maybe rare? I am busy doing a search on SARA and other sites.

I think I ID'ed it. It appears to be non native. Although, I have no idea how it would get into my woods, closest house is 1 mile away.

Thanks Aroostooksawyer, for helping to confirm it.

How has it spread so? Gee, it's a nice little flower but leaves one wondering how this stuff spreads.
