2006-03-11 Early spring orchids in the Francis Marion National Forest, Berkeley County, SC

First trip of spring to check on emerging orchids in the Francis Marion National Forest. Found Listera australis, Corallorhiza wisteriana, and Epidendrum magnoliae (not in bloom), plus a non-orchid surprise.
