À PROPOS

Epipogium aphyllum, commonly known as the Ghost Orchid, is a rare and elusive plant native to temperate regions of Europe and Asia. It is a holomycotrophic rhizomatous geophyte, meaning it relies entirely on a symbiotic relationship with fungi for its nutrients. This orchid lacks chlorophyll and is leafless, making it unique among its peers. It typically goes dormant for several years, making it difficult to spot in the wild.
