Kodiak Keyflower Orchid

Dactylorhiza aristata var. kodiakensis

Description:

Endemic subspecies to the island. Photo 2 shows the flowers. They are very plentiful, but this year I have noticed many with the spotted leaves and I have not noticed it so much in past years. I don't think it is a disease but I'm not sure what is causing the variation.

Habitat:

Densely vegetated field overlooking the ocean
