Western Underground Orchid

Rhizanthella gardneri or western underground orchid is a leafless, sympodial herb with a horizontal rhizome 60-120 mm below the soil surface. True to its name, western underground is a rare flower that grows underground and does not have much exposure to sunlight. After pollination, each flower produces a fleshy, berry-like fruit containing up to 150 seeds. During the summer from May to June the plant will produce about 100 small, inward-facing flowers that are pink to deep red or cream.

The color of the flowers is similar to that of a beautifully ripe pomegranate, with a strange shape and a living space few people find. This plant species was found in 1928, so far it is becoming an endangered plant species in the world that needs to be preserved and propagated.

Type of plant: leafless herb.
Size: 2.4 to 4.7 inches as a whole (60 to 120 mm).
Conservation status: critically endangered.
Origin: southwest and western Australia.
