February 19th, 2011: Austral Ladies Tresses (Spiranthes sinensis) by Lophophora
Beautiful photo! Especially on a cold winter's day. This plant is new to me and I would like it in my garden this summer! Glad I came here today! ^_^
Wow - what a neat plant!! It does look like a piece of braided hair;o)
I had never heard of it either. I love the name too, Ladies Tresses.
Very cool plant... and in my zone! Must keep an eye out for this. Beatiful photo, nicely done.
