Goodyera oblongifolia (Rattlesnake
Plantain)
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
A delightful evergreen ground orchid of the northwest. Distinctive criss-cross mottling on the rosette of leaves is like the skin of a rattlesnake--quite beautiful! Delicate flowers bloom on a 6” stem. Found scattered in dry to moist forests across North America and south to Mexico, Rattlesnake Plantain is prevalent in both Washington and Oregon (USDA 6-10). The easiest of the northwest native orchids to grow. |
