One of my favorite springtime wildflowers is the calypso orchid. It is fairly common in the woods in Washington State. The group below, mixed in with yellow stream violets, is at the Bloedel Nature Reserve on Bainbridge Island … I have never seen such a large grouping in the wild.

I love how you notice the smallest details of your hikes. It’s lovely how you describe the emerging flowers of spring. Thank you! I’m learning a lot about our precious forests.
Thanks for your thoughts and support, Pat.
Wow, this are real beauties and with so many on one spot 🙂
Thanks. I was surprised with so many too. They are usually not so dense.
