Platanthera Platantheroides

Platanthera platantheroides is a rare and delicate orchid native to northern regions of the northern hemisphere. It thrives in moist, shaded environments such as bogs and wet meadows, where it relies on specific fungal associations for nutrient uptake. Known for its slender, white or greenish flower spikes, this plant is both ecologically significant and visually striking. Due to habitat loss and environmental changes, it faces increasing threats to its survival. Conservation efforts are crucial to preserving this unique species for future generations.
