They search for orchids, the royalty among wild flowers, which begin their spectacular bloom- ing at this time of year. You might think of orchids more in terms of exotie tropical flowers that show up as corsages for a very special occasion. While many of the 5000 species of orchids do grow in the tropics, here ini Ontario we have 53 native species. Their beauty and their appear are as diverse as theirnames: Ladies'-slipper, Moccasin Flower, Showy Orchis, Purple-frînged Orchis, Bog- Bowmanville Lions Club t CARNIVAL F'riday, June 22,:,.'\. in case of ron a tudy June 23 Memorial Park - 1 Liberty St. South Bingo -Rides Ref reshmients Games of Chance Mony Different and Novel Booths Big Draw for..

Some Ontario orchids boast only inconspicîous spikes of tiny green flowers. Others are among our showiest and most colorful blossoms. Showy Ladies'-slippers feature strik- ing pink and white egg-shaped cups as part of a two-inch flower. The slightly smaller Yellow Ladies'-slipper, with glowing buttercup-yellow pouches, is one of our most common orchids. Calopogon, or Grass-pink, is another whose rose-colored blooms grace many wet meadows. Many of our orchids are bog plants, and you must brave the early suxnmer onslaught of insects to find them. Their fondness for bogs, wet meadows, and swamps makes them vulnerable to h abitat change, and at least seven species are seriously threaten- e, with populations of many others declining However, only one is listed under the Ontario Endangered Species Act - the Small White Ladies'-slipper.

On the west coastline of the Bruce Peninsula, undoubtedly the best orchid ground in Ontario, cottage development and recreational parks continue to destroy the best habitat for this family of plants, and soon only thin- remnants -will remain. The Federation of Ontario Naturalists owns two wild- flower sanctuaries on the Bruce, both especially valuable for their orchids. With their help, and that of sympathetic landowners, there is hope yet that the orchids of Ontario can be preserved as symbols of the beauty of wild nature. S-M E -RVICE] 1 t " 299 DEAN AVE.
