This gives you an idea of how small the flower is when its compared to a mosquito. In addition to biting us, mosquitoes are pollinators of several flower species. Yes, they do serve a good purpose in this world and I've been told only the females bite so (I guess) we can be thankful since it could be twice as bad.
Small is not an exaggeration with these orchids. However, they frequently grow in groups of 10-15 so are easy to spot on the bog floor. No two flowers have the same design of spots and they are beautiful in their intricate detail. An unfelt breeze seems to keep them in constant motion.
