Can
you identify what's in this photo?
Each Wednesday morning
on Camp Lutherlyn's Facebook page
the Lutherlyn Environmental
Education Program posts a photo.
Readers
have all morning and afternoon
to
make their best guess about what the photo is.
Around
6 pm LEEP provides the answer and a brief explanation.
Each
week's What is it Wednesday post
will
also be posted on the Nature of Lutherlyn blog,
after it is posted on Facebook,
sometimes
with additional bonus information.
In
addition to bringing you current editions of What is it Wednesday
on the
Nature of Lutherlyn blog,
we
will be reposting old editions,
creating
a What is it Wednesday archive.
This photo was posted as a What is it Wednesday on
September 30, 2020.
And
the answer is....
It is a small member of the orchid family, often found near roadsides and the edges of ponds. It was spotted near the settling pond of the passive treatment system for abandoned mine drainage on Lutherlyn’s property.
Even in an area being remediated because of pollution, beauty finds ways to shine through. Spotting fall wildflowers also feels like a special treat, as fall frosts begin and soon there will be very few plants blooming. Get outsides and soak up all the fall beauty you can, from wildflowers, to weird mushrooms, to colorful leaves.
Like and follow Camp Lutherlyn on
Facebook, to see What is it Wednesday posts when
they come out and have the opportunity to share your guesses in the comments!
