 Rose Pogonia   The Rose Pogonia is a species native to Ontario and is also known as the Snake Mouth, due to the distinct shape of it’s lone flower. The Rose Pogonia is a member of the orchid family and only grows to a height of about 6 – 8” although under ideal conditions plants can reach heights of 12”. The  Rose Pogonia prefers to grow in acidic situations such as open sphagnum bogs and wet meadows. The Rose Pogonia is a true bog plant and as such loves really moist and wet soil. If you are interested in adding this plant to your home garden it is interesting to note that they do not usually bloom the first year after planting. I found this plant growing in the park where I walk my dog. They were located down by the pond’s edge.
