Twin Screw Orchids

Spiranthes sinensis var. amoena (Chinese spiranthes, ’Nejibana’ in Japanese) is a species of wild orchid native to Eastern Eurasia. The Japanese name means ‘Screw Flowers’. I found a couple of ’Nejibana’ of left- and right-handed screws were blooming side by side in a beautifully symmetrical way.
