Birds-Nest Orchid
Neottia nidus-avis
44.8726, 15.5982
Field Notes
Description:
Unlike the other orchids these like shadowy places and we found them under trees near one prairy.This is because is a non-photosynthetic orchid. The birds-nest name appeals at the shape of their rhizome.They must have some pollen that ants like because I always saw some ants on them. As for the trees I cannot remember which type but conifers for sure.
Habitat:
Plitvice Lakes (Plitvicka-Jezera National Park), Croatia (June, 2016).
