Orchid Hunting 

Great walk and identification!

I love this video. Makes me feel like I'm there in the forest finding these great plants too like the old days

It's interesting that in that climate and elevation, all flowers (except the poppy and orchid) are in the purple/lilac colour palette.

Very nice video. I would love to see more of these videos where you comment on what you find

Your channel is fabulous. Keep up the good work.

Beautifull wild Flowers...

Great video as always! I didn’t get the chance to get out this year so it was nice to see your hike for native orchids.

I live near the South Carolina mountains and sometimes when I walk on certain trails I spot moccasin slipper. Anyways great video and content.

More videos like this please!

So much great info here... I will definitely be using the Podophyllum trick next time to find a flower! I hope I see those Delphinium some day...

Nice video!

Present to support friends. I have sent the red caladium.

Awesome video, thanks!

Thank you for the content!! Do you have any recommendations for field guides about Eastern Deciduous/ mixed forests?

No Microstegium vimineum either, which bodes well for the orchids and the other understory plants. Once Japanese stiltgrass gets there, it'll probably be bye bye for the orchids.

Love the video! This is Cypripedium parviflorum var. pubescens though right?

I wish you could come to my forests and tell me what all my plants are in the Chicagoan metropolitan area

Great video Matt! What camera did you use to film this?

Well done. Interesting. What general area is this?

enjoyed the video. nice to see the natives in situ!! the cyps are great. Hope the area is protected from humans. for those who are interested in growing cyps there is an easy way to obtain a variety of species that are being grown by Spangle Creek Labs. Availability is limited and varies from year to year. Check their web site for info at: www.spanglecreeklabs.com/ I have no connection to the labs apart from being a happy customer years ago when I grew one species I bought from them.

awesome video!

Wonderful!

L love this video. Which place

I once transplanted 3 yellow lady slippers. They were moved from about 3000 ft and hardwood to about 2000 ft and under white pines. They came up for many years and bloomed. I unfortunately in the winter but any ideas as to how they survived? I had over 35 wildflowers all under those trees. Even the cardinal flower would come back and bloom.

In California the buckeyes (Aesculus California) smell amazing! Butterflies go crazy for them. But the fruit are very poisonous. Is that the same for y’all?

Need to redo the sound on this one

Kaintuck ee my guess

Nice video but difficult to hear. Speak up Matt! :)
