Corallorhiza striata var. vreelandii, Vreeland's Striped Coralroot Orchid.
Pale yellow base colour (including the stem) and faint stripes characterize this extremely-rare Newfoundland orchid. This species has been only reported from a handful of sites in the Province. Amazing! The 'regular' version has an orange base colour, and deep magenta/red markings.
The few plants we saw, were impacted by the hot weather a few weeks earlier. The only flowers that weren't totally destroyed were tucked up underneath dense evergreen trees - almost impossible to photograph!
Still, quite a sight to see!

Corallorhiza trifida, the Early or Pale Coralroot Orchid.
Swollen seed capsules on a Corallorhiza trifida. It appears that ever flower was pollinated, and it won't be long after that the capsules split and spread their seeds about.
C. trifida is one of the earliest orchids to flower in the season, we would have had to be there a couple of months earlier to see the flowers. Often the seed pods are the easiest way to spot the orchids!
This is the 3rd of the three Coralroots present in Newfoundland.

Corallorhiza maculata var. maculata, the Eastern Spotted Coralroot Orchid.
The nominate variety, with its straight-sided lip. Magenta spots on a sparkling white lip. Awesome!
This was the 1st orchid we saw on the OCA Newfoundland Field Trip, and the only time we saw this species on the island.

Autumn coralroot is a delightful little woodland orchid that blooms in the fall. The plant stands less than a foot tall and individual flowers are about the size of a big grass seed, making it difficult to find on the forest floor even when you know where to look. It gets its nutrients from mycorrhizal fungi instead of photosynthesis. The flowers often remained closed and are self-pollinating. I've only found this uncommon wild orchid in old-growth oak woodlands.
