Lost? where was it? Living with wild dogs in a Massachusetts jungle?

“Wild Orchid, once though extinct, seen emerging from jungle on all fours, growling and snarling, looking for food”

He’ll reappear shortly after the reappearance of a competent newspaper editor.

So it turns out that if scientists don’t see a thing for a while it’s not necessarily extinct? Who knew?

I thought orchids by nature were tropical and sub-tropical critters?

It almost looks like something that would be growing underwater. Or like an orange Hyacinth. I’ve only seen Hynciths that are white, pink, blue or purple. Never orange.
Maybe it should be named after a very controversial, though well loved president.

I thought I saw one of those on the roof of a Brownstone in Manhattan. Someone had just been murdered downstairs, so I left as soon as I could.

They decided not to reveal the exact location of the orchid’s 2020 reappearance.

They shouldn't have said anything until they were sure it was firmly established or as another poster said, make it commercially available.
