Save Most Endangered Western Prairie Fringed Orchid plants from extinction !

Western Prairie Fringed Orchid (Platanthera praeclara) only exists in five U.S. states in the Midwest. The Endangered Species Coalition estimates that there are only 172 populations of this plant, with merely four with more than 1,000 plants. This is a wetland plant that grows in “prairie potholes”, indents left by glaciers in the recent ice age, 20,000 years ago. The main threats to this plant are development, overgrazing, fires, and global warming.
