My #9 for November is Cinnamon Bells (Gastrodia sesamoides) also known as the Potato Orchid due to the large potato like tuber.

It's been a very interesting month searching for orchids and I've seen an amazing array of insect, animal and plant life in the process - not to mention experienced a vast array of habitat and terrain.

Thanks everyone who's commented. I've enjoyed November's challenge immensely.

To me it looks like made of marzipan.  Great job to collect all those orchid pictures.  I enjoyed looking at them.  Thanks, Jenn.
