The Weird Bird's-Nest Orchid

Imagine a plant that looks like a messy bird's nest, but with some pretty flowers on top! That's the bird's-nest orchid.

It lives in the ground like a regular plant, but it doesn't make its own food with sunshine like most plants do.

Instead, it has special friends in the soil called fungi that help it get food, and they make the orchid look white, yellow, or a bit brown.

These orchids are very picky about where they live, so you can't grow them in your garden, but they are really cool to see in the wild!
