This is awesome 🤗 I run a 17 hectare wild estate forest garden in Provence and this year we had some rare wild orchids pop up to that we have not seen in more than a decade. Maybe it was this years winter and springs weather patterns that were rather abnormal this year due to the El Niño but who knows ☺
Used to spend time camping on the Bruce Peninsula in central Ontario every mid-June. It’s the orchid capital of Canada. Saw plenty of striped coral root there. I took close-up photos of the various orchids and many of my photos are in a permanent display in a local museum so anyone can see the lovely plants Mother Nature blessed us with. 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦
We lived in Seger's Acres, Evergreen from 2000 until 2019 on 1.5 acres and we had these orchids for a few years growing under pine trees. We also had calypso orchids at the back of the house in spring
@southorse I'm sorry to say you are incorrect as Orchids do produce seeds. However, they are some of the smallest seeds in the known plant Kingdom, meaning they're about the size of dust and only 10% of them will propagate. So yes, orchids can come from seeds.

@@frankmacleod2565 This species derives its sustenance from parasitic fungi, not photosynthesis. Therefore the dug up plant will die if taken elsewhere. If it's being taken as a voucher specimen for an herbarium -- OK, as a sacrifice for knowledge's sake. Otherwise, do not dig up plants of this species -- or related species -- as all you are doing is killing them. Just do not do it!!!

Scientists often kill specimens of plants and insects in order to document them. I hope this isn’t the case this time. I’ve never understood that, and sincerely hope it stops, if so.
I've worked with a lot of botanists over the last 20 years, never seen one kill a plant population to identify it. Hundreds of surveys with numerous botanists.
Nature is amazing and patient. 120 years later on, there it is. Wonderful things can be discovered when people pay really close attention and don't go tromping through the area with hobnailed boots on - noticing nothing.
*This is atrocious.* Nowhere in this segment do they inform the public NOT do dig them up. On the contrary, totally encouraged it by focusing on *showing* them digging it up gleefully . People are dumb. They mimic what they see. The botanists and people involved with the project should not hav aired them digging it up and should have focused on rarity, biodiversity, climate change, microclimate, explained what an orchid is, explained what a native orchid is, and the importance of native ecosystems.
Yep, especially orchids because the may have a symbiotic even parasitic relationship in this case. eg, you have to dig up the fungi it is feeding on and even that fungi's environment that it is feeding on and replicate the climate at that location, wet, shade etc. eg, you can't do it. (some orchids can be potted but you really have to know what you are doing simulating those connections)
I live in the mountains of Colorado and to say this is rare, I don't know if i believe that, we have these orchids every year, I always see 4 to 5 bunches of these orchid on my land.
Heh, heh, I keep my eyes open for Bentley's Coralroots in SWVA when hiking. Never seen one though. Of course they're hard to find, that's basically a fruiting body and not only did they have to stumble over the correct location but also at the right time of the year (or right conditions) which might be a period of only a couple weeks. they don't necessarily come up every year either. You basically need to be doing something else, eg hiking, but keeping your eyes open for stuff you're not going to just go out and find them.

I love her statement about biodiversity not being set. Too many human interventions in nature in an effort to make things stay the same has proven harmful time and again with unforeseen consequences.
@@frankmacleod2565A "plant population" of five or seven in a 1000 acre area does not justify digging any of them up when it's surviving. They made zero effort to inform the public NOT do dig them up and on the contrary, totally encouraged it. People are dumb. They mimic what they see.
The very first episode of Midsomer Murders started with the discovery of a very rare orchid, it didn't end well for the finder, and had nothing to do with the find but rather as it turned out, the incestual relationship between a brother and sister, the blackmailing of said brother and sister, the murder of the blackmailer and her son, a "dandy" undertaker, and the eventual suicide pact of brother and sister after the discovery of their relationship. It was all very sordid.

Amazing to see people still looking down between the grasses to find the beauty there. From the older to the younger, my wish is that this continues.
Refreshing to see someone out in the forest, not hooked on their cellphone.

Cool story, thanks for reporting on it.
WOOOOOOOOOW!🤩
As an orchid lover and grower, I'm in awe at how they find this. . .AMAZING!

Neat. They are almost like asparagus.
Candy cane asparagus?
How exciting! Thank you for sharing your work.
striped coralroot is fairly common out here in north California. beautiful lil plant, good work identifying it.
Nice find. Good eyes
Beautiful plant!
Congratulations on finding it.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

You make a good point, My-Lan!
Nice to hear good news on the news!
It's probably seeded by migratory birds. That's why it's not a constant, and that's why it would be so rare
Orchids doesn’t come from seeds.

What a little beauty!
Saw this headline and thumbnail and my RDR2 brain kicked in lol
1:23 immediately digs it
"it" isn't a single plant, it's a population of plants. She dug one of them. They grow from rhizomes, meaning they can be replanted and be just fine.
@@frankmacleod2565I see only one! Humans destroy everything! Never fails 😅

Killer work guys!!
The Striped Coralroot Orchid is quite common elsewhere in North America.

Example.. Audubon shot or netted most all the birds in his books..

I pray we won't allow the population surge to destroy these and other signs such as beaver, fireflies, and natural eco systems that are healing .
Love this newscaster. Would be nice to see him go national, if he wants to.
Beautiful

Art of those would be perfect for dressed, let the world know of the uniqueness
So they pulled up the few they found?
No. Just one rhizome.
It’s not rare, but commonly widespread across the pacific northwest and Canada.
I have seen a few..you have to be outside of trails to see anything..
Fun!
The wow...and then they pulled it up and killed it.

Lord Jesus, all things are possible. 😊
You can find it in Miami 👍

For all those saying ...and then they killed it .. They didn't . I understand many especially children aren't interested and try to be funny .
So nice! They took it and kill it 😅
And yeet you stupidly dig it up....like all the bumbling botanists of the past>
no, they didn't dig it up. It's a plant population, not a single individual plant. You've never worked with any botanists, I'm guessing

Could it be super medicinal??
As a suppository??? NO!
Must not get out much I see those every September during hunting season.
Get out of the offices
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Stop killing our flowers 🤬🤬
