Platanthera Fornicata

Common meadow orchid, scientifically known as Platanthera fornicata, is a striking wildflower that thrives in moist meadows and open woodlands across Europe and parts of Asia. This delicate plant is recognized for its slender stems and clusters of pale yellow or greenish-white flowers that bloom in late summer. It plays an important role in its ecosystem by providing nectar for pollinators like bees and moths. Despite its beauty, the common meadow orchid is sensitive to environmental changes and is considered a rare or threatened species in many regions. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect this unique and fragile plant from habitat loss and climate change.
