Description: Chloraea longipetala Lindl. 20081129.22 coastal Chile, between Pichilemu and Concepcion Found these just growing in a dry spot along the road. I'm basing the ID just on photos on the web. This one seems distinctive since there are no veins or other markings on the outer three tepals. Date: 29 November 2007, 08:02.

(Note, these were growing interspersed with the other white orchid, numbered 20081207.1, although these yellow ones were much less common. Both were growing right along the margin of the highway, the white ones almost abundant in places.). Date: 6 December 2007, 06:50. Source: Chloraea cristata Uploaded by Orchi.

Yes!This time of the year, I take a walk whenever I can to check if the local terrestrial orchids are already growing leaves, and if they're doing well. A few months ago they weren't visible -- all that was left of them were the thick roots under the ground.This species is common, but in urban areas the plants seldom get to bloom because of the use and abuse of lawnmowers. Ya estn ac!En esta poca del ao, siempre que puedo me doy un paseo para ver si las orqudeas terrestres locales ya tienen hojas, y cmo van. Hace unos meses no eran visibles; todo lo que quedaba de ellas eran las races gruesas debajo de la tierra.Esta es una especie comn, pero en zonas urbanizadas las plantas raramente llegan a florecer, por el uso y abuso de las cortadoras de pasto.Chloraea membranaceaDistribution range / rea de distribucin: Northeastern Argentina (only in Corrientes, Entre Ros, Santa Fe and Buenos Aires provinces), Uruguay, Brazil / Noreste de Argentina (slo en las provincias de Corrientes, Entre Ros, Santa Fe y Buenos Aires), Uruguay, Brasil

They're in bloom right now! :)They're wildflowers actually, but not lacking the touch of elegance one usually sees on orchids.These flowers here, and those in the following pic, belong to a cultivated plant. It was originally growing (wild) on a sidewalk beside a tree, but some person from across the street took the habit of leaving garbage and debris in that precise spot, so adoption was in order. However, this species doesn't do well as a garden plant and it's better to leave the plants in situ. This plant has a nice flower spike right now, but still it doesn't compare to a wild plant.More about this species here. Estn floreciendo justo ahora! :)Son plantas silvestres en realidad, pero no les falta el toque de elegancia que normalmente se ve en las orqudeas.Las flores que se ven en esta foto y la siguiente pertenecen a una planta cultivada. Originariamente estaba creciendo (silvestre) en una vereda, al lado de un rbol, pero el vecino de enfrente tom la costumbre de dejar basura y escombros en ese preciso lugar, as que fue mejor adoptarla. Sin embargo, esta especie no funciona bien como planta de jardn, y es mejor dejar estas plantas en el lugar donde se las encontr. Esta planta tiene un lindo conjunto de flores ahora, pero aun as no se compara con las plantas que crecen silvestres.Ms info sobre esta especie aqu.Chloraea membranaceaDistribution range / rea de distribucin: Northeastern Argentina (only in Corrientes, Entre Ros, Santa Fe and Buenos Aires provinces), Uruguay, Brazil / Noreste de Argentina (slo en las provincias de Corrientes, Entre Ros, Santa Fe y Buenos Aires), Uruguay, Brasil

Still, I think the most beatiful Chlorarea species are those from Patagonia.More about this species in the comments under the preceding photo and here.
