These plants usually don’t, but can grow, up to 12” inches tall and were spotted on one of my many hikes to Via Hollow. They can be found in the Piedmont regions along the Appalachian Mountains. The Wister’s Coralroot was at great find. I was walking along the fire road/main trail in Via Hollow and spotted these tiny orchids. From a distance, the stocks looked like some small twigs sticking out of the ground. Laying across the trail with micro lens on my camera, I was able to get some excellent photo studies of this elusive, tiny wild orchid.
