My younger brother lives in the eastern suburbs of Cleveland Ohio and he texted me these pictures of weirdo plants that just kinda popped up in his backyard.

They finally bloomed, or at least the ones that didn’t get eaten by deer.

 Cool huh?

I like them. They look like they could be in the Cypripedioideae subfamily.

More than likely this species:  Is apparently common in parts of California, the Pac. N.W. and parts of Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico.

Apparently partially dependent on Mycorrhizal Fungi in the soil as well:

The Genus Epipactus is allied to Epidendrum ( Epidendroideae )  rather than Cypripediodeae:

Like many terrestrial Orchids, considering these tend to grow where the soil " flora " is thriving ( thus indicating good health ), would consider these more of a welcome " weed " vs. introduced plants that can cause actual problems ..ie:  Japanese Knotweed / Giant Hogweed,  Cogon, Torpedo,  Buffel, or Pennisetium grasses,  Ligustrum sp., Star Thistle, Sahara Mustard,  Stinknet ( here in the West )  ..etc.. 

Besides, any Orchid that can adapt to just about any climate, let alone " city life ",  ~ w/ out being babied,   is awesome..   Since it is in the same Genus, wonder if it could be crossed w/ the CA. / Western U.S. native native Epipactus gigantea,  Stream Orchid, which can have larger individual flowers than E. helleborine.
