The plant belongs to family Orchidaceae
Its scientific name is Spiranthes sinensis and commonly known as Lady's tresses symbolizing a long lock of woman's hair. Flowers are tiny with a pink corolla. The length of plant is about 15 to 20 cm. Basically it can be found at the height above 1500 m on open meadow.
While on the visit to Panchase dada of Pokhara in 2022 in the month of September, I found a very beautiful plant which was eye catching and took few photos of it. I was very surprised by seeing the arrangement of flowers on plant. As seen on the above photo, the flowers was pink and tiny and spirally arranged around the main stem like a snake.
