"making a comeback... is the tiny Chatterbox Orchid. There has been enough rain to fill the creeks where they grow and no raging floods to wash them away, so their blooms are quite visible along the banks this year, usually lodged between Cypress tree roots. They can be found all along Cypress Creek in Wimberley. Look for river fern and you will usually find the shy Chatterbox Orchid growing alongside. Their distinctive 'orchid' style, elongated and pleated leaves give the little plant away."
