Im currently doing a review for my evolutionary botany class on pollination methods involved with a specific grouping of orchidaceae, Spiranthes spp.and one resolution method, utilizing levels of apomixis,  that was of signifigance in resolving S cernua complex;  and the reasons for their success. I don’t want to limit myself to just S. cernua though and am seeking out all Spiranthes spp. with apomixis agamospermy regeneration present. Ill prob post something on instagram about it when im done.

Autumn Lady’s Tresses

The orchid season is nearly over. But what a finale it puts on for us in Britain and Ireland, with the Autumn Lady’s Tresses orchid, Spiranthes spiralis.

So many of you have been coming across these dainty little spikes of flowers which wind their way around the stem in a spiral rather than curled hair. They are also weirdly fluffy when you crouch down and take a proper look at them.

Here are some of your best finds:

In de nazomer van 2010 waren Mark Meijrink en Mark Engels te gast in een heel bijzonder hellinggrasland van Staatsbosbeer. Het is één van de weinige locaties waar Herfstschroeforchis nog in grote aantallen voorkomt. Zij maakten een korte impressie van hun bezoek in de vorm van een slide-show.

An orchid that is similar the same spiraling that occurs in S. vernalis but occurs more southern on average and has a green painted labellum. It has less tolerance for drying out than Spiranthes vernalis has and because of that has more habitat constrictions.
