Calopogon tuberosus (Common Grass-Pink Orchid)

When I went out into the front yard this morning, I knew that I had to photograph these before it started raining.

These are quite easy to grow in a bog garden environment. They grow from tiny corms or bulb-like structures. Its flowers vary from almost pure white to deep magenta. I have some of the white variety, but for some reason, they bloom a few weeks later than these.

This orchid is known as a non-resupinate orchid, which means that the lip is found in the upper position rather than the lower position on the flower.
