Have an orchid that came up in a pot of shasta daisies in my greenhouse. Looks to be a wild orchid. Already check out aplectrum,liparis and malaxis...not any of them.

Anyone have a link for native orchids of Ark.,Tx.or Ok.w/pix?

No way to post pix of my orchid...sorry.

Hi P
Here's a link for the native Orchidaceae species of Ark.

Sorry, I don't know of a gallery link. You will probably have to do a search for each one. Does Carl's book have photos of the native Orchids?

Your plant may not be a local native species, Since all Orchid seed are dust-like, it could have arrived as a hitch-hiker with another plant and found the ideal conditions to germinate.

Here is a link that might be useful: Arkansas Biodiversity - Orchidaceae

Found it! It's habinera repens.
