Flowers Lovers Flock To Vermont Bog For Wild Orchids

(AP) — Each spring and summer, a Vermont bog yields a rare spectacle — hundreds of wild orchids in bloom, drawing visitors from around the country. A boardwalk allows visitors of all ages and abilities access to the bog and an up-close look at the plants. The area is technically a fen because it's less acidic than a bog and fed by groundwater containing nutrients like calcium and magnesium from the area bedrock, according to the Nature Conservancy, which owns and manages the preserve along with the New England Wild Flower Society.
