Description:

Description: The Heart-leaved Twayblade (Listera cordata) is quite a boring flower from a distance. Actually, with its tiny green flowers it can be hard to spot that it is even a flower at all. The Twayblade is actually a species of orchid. It grows in the shade of dense old growth forest; a slim single stalk supporting several flowers with only two matched heart-shaped leaves mid-stalk. Photo taken June 6, 2013, near Longmire. Date: 6 June 2013, 12:15. Source: Heart-Leaf TwayBlade. Author: Mount Rainier National Park from Ashford, WA, United States.
