      an acquaintance of mine was the first to find it, a week before me. we went the following week - didn't find "his" spot, but found a very close one, which was very exciting!
      it's a very small plant (each flower about 1 cm or less), it is a brown-green flower that blooms in the woods, very camouflaged. it's like a detective work, to find it :-)       Posted 3 years ago

        How nice! It makes you think how many people would be completely oblivious to passing by a plant this rare, just not knowing it. Posted 3 years ago
