Malaxis unifolia (Green Adder's-mouth orchid)

This morning, I made the 3-hour round trip to a state park in north Georgia; Tallulah Gorge State Park. Almost 24 hours earlier, I had head from a good friend that she had just seen a nice group of Malaxis unifolia or Green Adder's-mouth orchids along the roadside. I made every effort to visit the site where I did find some beautiful specimens of this orchid. This species has some of the smallest flowers of any of our southeastern, native orchids.
