early marsh orchid

[fishfish 17]

its a mohamet orchid ,very rare and found in the marshes and wadi's of southeastern Iraq .thaught to be extinct for many years,it was re discovered by proffesor Niytsuj Drofnas from the moscow botanicle university in the late 1980's. incredibly the seeds are only produced once every 4 years all though it will flower yearly.the seeds will only germinate if they have passed through the gut of a camel and thus deposited near water in its own source of nutrients.

I ancient times the nomadic marsh Arabs believed that a sprig placed under the birthing mat would cause a child to grow wise and be blessed by the prophet ,hence its name.
