East of the Mississippi River is the range of Screw Auger Orchid (Spiranthes cernua).
Specifically, the wild orchid ranges northeastward into Maine. It is found growing as far southeastward as Florida. It grows as far northwestward as North Dakota and as far southwestward as Texas.
To replace the auger cable on the MTD snow blower, you have to disconnect it from power. Use a screw driver to open the screw and replace the auger cable in question.
An auger bit has a screw on the end of a bit with a chisel end. The screw pulls the bit into what is being drilled, it also centers the bit. Most often used in wood, but a post hole bit is also an auger style.
Spiranthes cernus is the scientific, Latin or binomial name of the Screw Auger Orchid.Specifically, the first word in the scientific name honors the wild orchid's hallmark spiraling shape. The second word honors the plant's hallmark downward nodding of its bloom. The scientific name in question also holds for the plant's other common names: Common Ladies' Tresses, Fragrant Ladies' Tresses, and Nodding Ladies' Tresses Orchids.

The auger is like a big screw. As the screw turns pellets travel from supply bin to fire along the shaft. The auger turns because it is connected to a motor that is geared down from its rotational speed to a slower speed so pellets are delivered in a timely way to the fire and not shot like bullets out of the stove.
An auger is not considered a compound machine; rather, it is a simple machine. It primarily consists of a helical screw that converts rotational motion into linear motion, allowing it to bore holes into various materials. While it may incorporate additional components like a handle or motor, the auger's fundamental design revolves around the simple mechanics of a screw.
The screw and auger are ancient inventions with roots tracing back to the Greek philosopher Archimedes around 250 BCE, who is often credited with developing the Archimedes screw for lifting water. However, the concept of the screw itself has been used in various forms across different cultures, including in ancient Roman and Chinese engineering. The modern screw, as we know it today, evolved over centuries, with significant contributions from various inventors during the Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution.
Open, moist spaces and woods are the habitat of the Screw Auger Orchid (Spiranthes cernua).Specifically, the wild orchid favors rich, moist soils. It may be found in bogs, stream banks, swamps or wet meadows. It also may colonize fields, moist open woods and roadside ditches.
July to November is the bloom time of the Screw Auger Orchid (Spiranthes cernua).Specifically, the wild orchid blooms from mid-summer into very late fall. Its preferred growth pattern is in colonies. So it is quite a cheery sight to see Nodding Ladies' Tresses in bloom as days get shorter and other summer bloomers die.
To attach an auger to a weed eater for small holes, first ensure the weed eater has a compatible attachment system, typically using a quick-release button or a screw mechanism. Remove the cutting head of the weed eater and then insert the auger attachment securely into the drive shaft. Tighten any fasteners to ensure it’s firmly in place. Finally, follow the manufacturer's guidelines for operating the auger safely.

White is the bloom color of the Screw Auger Orchid (Spiranthes cernua).Specifically, the bloom clusters at the very top of the wild orchid's tall stem bereft of leaves except at the base. The clusters may form in straight lines or in loose or tight spirals. Either way, the dainty flowers take on a slightly downward curving look that is most attractive.
