Heart-leaved Twayblade / Listera cordata var. nephrophylla forma rubescens


This is a very tiny wild Orchid and proved to be very difficult to photograph, lol. Seen on the Sarrail Falls trail, Kananaskis, at Kananaskis Lakes on August 7th.
This is a native, woodland species, only a few inches tall, and not easily seen. Each flower is only 3/16 inch across and the plant blooms June-August. The flowers are pale green to purplish-brown in color, with the lip divided for more than half its length into 2 linear lobes with a pair of horn-like teeth at the base. There are two varieties, one with pale green flowers and the other with purplish-green flowers (as in my macro photo). I think my photo shows Listera cordata var. nephrophylla forma rubescens.
