Broad-leaved Helleborine(Epipactis helleborine)小河蘭

Broad-leaved Helleborine(Epipactis helleborine)小河蘭
This is one of the common native orchids in Ontario, Canada. I see them free flowering in July/August under big trees. No fragrance, flower size is small about 1cm (3/8″) across on a flower stem, seed pods usually mature around October, self seeded. Mature plant height is almost 60 cm (24″), they prefer shade.
北美原生的小河蘭,成熟植株約達2呎高,夏天7月/8月開花,十月種子達成熟會爆開,種子粉狀細小,容易生長繁殖,喜生長在陰暗的大樹下. 花無香味,有逐漸城市化的趨勢.

Purple crown vetch (Coronilla varia),pea family, fast growing,invasive plants, likes full sun, toxic wild flower.– Weed it!
多變小冠花(Coronilla varia)是一種豆科多年生草本植物,地上莖可能達到 0.6~2公尺。它能容忍乾旱,暴雨,高溫和寒冷,但它不耐遮蔭。根系深廣可做為斜岥的水土保持,但具有侵略性。–請清除此類雜草!

This morning pollinated a same plant female flower and then cover female flower with clear plastic bag. In three days, this female flower will wilt and come off then we will know the result.
