Neottia Cordata

Neottia cordata is a unique orchid species known for its striking, heart-shaped leaves and delicate white flowers. Native to the temperate regions of Europe and parts of Asia, it thrives in moist, shaded environments like woodlands and stream sides. This plant is notable for its lack of a traditional root system, relying instead on mycorrhizal fungi for nutrient absorption. Its rare and elusive nature makes it a subject of interest for botanists and conservationists alike. Despite its beauty, Neottia cordata remains under threat from habitat loss and environmental changes.
