Malaxis unifolia (Green Adder's-mouth orchid) + crab spider

Malaxis unifolia (Green Adder's-mouth orchid) + crab spider
This orchid species has the smallest flowers of any of our native orchids, measuring about 2mm wide.

My flickr friend Keith Bradley told me that he had a lead on a site for Malaxis unifolia in the Congaree National Park and wondered if I'd be interested in seeing it. What!?! You have to ask? ;-)

Anyway, I met him down there (near Hopkins, SC) about 10:00 am, dodging rain showers all the way down. Fortunately, it didn't even sprinkle on us for the two hours we were there.

What a great time and place to photograph this seldom seen orchid...
