Orchids of the Ojibway

To add to my post about the ecological design and planning of the Green Corridor in Windsor, I would just like to include a link to the website of the Ojibway Nature Centre where the Ojibway Prairie Complex is located.
As you can see from the aerial photos, the area is surrounded by urban development and is dissected by a hydroelectric right-of-way (ROW). This picture demonstrates how isolated this patch of natural preserve really is and highlights the importance of planting native species in our backyards, in our schools and in public spaces to enhance the ecological integrity of our bioregion. As you can see from this area map, The Ojibway Nature Centre site is close to other areas of natural and scientific interest (ANSI), such as Walpole Island and Point Pelee National Park .
When looking through the Ojibway Nature Centre website, I was surprised to find strikingly beautiful and rare varieties of orchids thriving there; and I was pleased to discover that some of these orchids can grow happily throughout the Carolinian life zone, which means that they are appropriate for native prairie and meadow gardens in Toronto! Here is the link to read more about the rare and wonderful orchids of southern Ontario:
