Hey, I really got them posted!
Here's some Listera australis (tiny little devil!) pix Ro took here in Burlington County a couple of weeks ago that I now know how to post.....

I've got a question for you guys: When you find Isotria verticillata, what kind of habitat does it grow in, and what other things does it grow with? It's supposed to be widespread in the state, but Paul Martin Brown's book not-so-helpfully says the habitat is deciduous forest, sometimes growing with pink lady's slippers. I've seen pink lady's slippers two dozen different places but never have I managed to stumble upon Isotria, only the vexingly similar (from a distance) Medeola virginiana.

Michael: I'm a beginner in botany; haven't spent years at it. Have seen the Isotria at only one spot: roadside, in Burlington County, population in proximity to large Kalmia angustifolia/Sheep Laurel plants.
Oji or Old Town Hunter much better qualified than me to answer your question.

oji,

I was out with Lost Town Hunter today and he told me this was rare. He also told me the name and as usual I don't remeber it. Can you name it?

I was exploring in and around the pines today for 12 hours and was at the Martha Bridge for the first time in a while. Not looking healthy!

Yes, Rattlesnake Fern. I knew you would know it and that is why I took the photo and made certain I had the correct name. :dance: I actually spoke it to my camera to be sure.

Ro & I checked out "the" Isotria verticillata site yesterday on our way back from inventorying our Parker sites. No blooms, at least one plant with what looked like a full seed pod, several healthy looking plants, lots of little ones. Hope this site stays undisturbed.

I took a few photo's this weekend of a few plants I did not have photo's of. This one is not blooming but still interesting to know about.

Pine Barren Bellwort (Uvularia puberula I believe)

Damsel Fly (Large view so you have to click the link)

Zigzag Bladderwort (Utricularia subulata) This plant is small and hard to focus on.

Here's something you don't see every day:

In person, it had snow white petals and just the slightest blush of pink elsewhere. The digital picture really brought out the color; it's tough to take good pictures of light things in direct sun.

Any guesses to what orchid this may be? I came across three examples of this plant several weeks ago and I think it may be Plantanthera lacera. They are very tall now, almost to my knee. All are in the Inner Coastal Plain just outside the Pine's proper.

The photo's I see online look similar. Might be correct.
