Orchids Are In Bloom
Cranberry Glades Now
By Lola Morton
As I remember the Cranberry
Glades as it appeared in the sum-
mer of 1987, the picture is as fresh
in my mind as though I were viewing
it for the first time. As I approached
the boardwalk, my eyes caught a
glimpse of what appeared to be a
pink blanket gently covering the
ground. I was dazzled by the subtle
beauty of the flowering orchids and
other plants.
Orchids are one of the most
popular attractions at the Cranberry
Glades for people with an interest in
wildflowers, At least eight spectes
flourish there. They are distinguish-
able by their specialized three-pet-
aled flowers. The two side or lateral
petals usually form the wings of the
flower, while the central third petal
forms the "tip.'
Among my favorites are the rose
pogonia or snake mouth orchid and
the grass pink orchid. The rose po-
gonia usually has one flower. They
are pink in color and 1 to 1-1/2
inches across. The lip is fringed
along the bottom with yellow hairs
and is sometimes called the beard
flower.
The grass pink orchids are typi-
cally a deeper pink than the rose
pogonias and usually have several
flowers on a stem. These orchids
bloom concurrently in the open bog
areas during the last part of June
and the first week or two of July. To
help you identify these and other
glades flowers, the staff of the Cran-
berry Mountain Visitor Center con-
ducts tours each Saturday and Sun-
day at 2 p.m. an additional tour at
11 a.m. is offered on Sundays dur-
ing the orchid season. For more in-
formation, contact the visitor center
at 653-4826.
