A rare #orchid survives on a few tracts of #prairie.
The western prairie fringed orchid is a threatened species protected by the federal Endangered Species Act. It is also a puzzle for researchers trying to learn more about the orchid’s reproduction and role in its ecosystem.
Loss of its native prairie habitat has threatened the orchid. About 60% of native orchids in the U.S. and Canada are rapidly disappearing.
