Chloraea magellanica

Thank you to Krystyna Szulecka, who is a frequent contributor on the UBC Botanical Garden Forums, for contributing today's photograph (original in this thread). Krystyna is linked to the FLPA nature photography agency, and you can see more of her excellent images by searching for “Krystyna” on the FLPA web site.

Krystyna photographed this porcelain orchid in Lanin National Park, part of Patagonian Argentina. Its occurrence here places Chloraea magellanica among the southernmost distributed orchids in the world. Posted by: Daniel Mosquin    Source
