A lip with tufts of yellow hairs
Calypso bulbosa
A dainty and very rare Orchid from all sides
Each plant has one flower and one leaf. It grows in wet mossy places in undisturbed coniferous forests. The small tuber is loosely anchored in the ground by a few thread-like roots which maintain an association with specific species of fungus.The showy flowers bloom only a short time, usually for two weeks. In our reserve you will find them in mid May.
