Our Changing World joins a group of botanists during their first ever attempt to reintroduce our rarest and most elusive native orchid back to the wild.
New Zealand’s native orchids are much more modest than the showy plants you can buy in the shops. But this one – a potato orchid known as Cooper’s orchid – takes modesty to the extreme.
It lives mostly underground as a tuber – a bit like kūmara or dahlias – and only emerges briefly every few years to push out a leafless stick with small brown flowers.
Like all orchids, it only survives with a lot of help from a fungus, which means that botanists had to use in vitro propagation methods to produce seedlings.

Witches are having a moment. Beyond the hit musical Wicked, there TikTok Hashtags and millions of posts celebrating witches as icons of empowerment, mystery, and resistance. It's far from the dark history of mostly women accused of being witches all over the world. In The US, there is a movement to exonerate people convicted of witchcraft centuries ago. Sarah Jack and Josh Hutchinson are descendants of witch hunt victims and their accusers. Now they advocate for the exoneration of women executed in Puritan 17th Century America, beyond the infamous Salem witch trials. They're calling for justice while reminding us of what happens when we turn against those who don't fit in.
