Description
Yellow Fringed Orchid, or Platanthera ciliaris, is also known as orange plume. Native American tribes in the Eastern United States used the yellow-fringed orchid for medicinal and other purposes. It’s a native wildflower that loves bogs, moist meadows, and swamps. The orange flowers blooms in late spring and continues through to late summer. It’s relatively easy to grow as long as they are provided with lots of moisture.
