Orchids

A couple of years ago while meandering up the driveway half reading the mail I noticed a plant I'd never noticed before. As I am most definitely botanically challenged that's not too surprising. I am  however reasonably observant when it comes to matters of my domain ( the yard). Now I know an orchid when I see one and this was an orchid. Turns out it was not a native orchid but one that was either accidentally introduced or maybe deliberately,  I don't think anyone knows. It's a Broadleaf Helleborine Epipactus helleborine. This year they are sprouting up all over the place. I never brought it over, well not intentionally.
