It is also know as Ladies Tresses. It may not grow in Europe. Its pretty common here in the US. There are quite a few terrestrial orchids here, most are small and kind of boring unless you an orchid nut.
This is one of those orchids that few orchid growers know and that wild plant enthusiasts are more likely to recognize. But there are hundreds of species around the world and they can be difficult to identify. Knowing where a plant is from helps narrow it down, but they look pretty similar to me. At least the eastern US species do.
I just looked up S. sinensis. It seems to be more brightly colored, but with fewer, more widely-spaced flowers. I prefer the white flowers, but I'd like to have variety, as well.
Also, S. diluvialis is nicely scented. Do other Spiranthes have scent? What is it?
