Spiranthes oderata

Spiranthes odorata, Ladies tress orchid, is a must for that shady boggy spot in the garden.  White bell shaped flowers with ruffled petals spiral up 12-18" stems on this exotic beauty late summer into early fall.   Leaves are persistent on lower stems of ladies tress orchid.  Ladies tress orchid spreads easily by rhizome and seeds.  Flowers are fragrant and attractive to bees, butterflies and birds!
