Bogging 7/23/20
I went to a very well known bog in Luzerne county PA today and saw hundreds of bog orchids in bloom. Mostly Platanthera blephariglottis, a few P. ciliaris, some of the naturally occurring hybrid between them P. x Bicolor, and a bunch of Calopogon tuberous. Plus all the huckleberry I could eat:

I certainly did! I didn't bring any home, but when I wasn't taking pictures I was eating them with both hands!

Oh wow those are great! I'm always so jealous of the Platantheras you get out east, the western ones aren't nearly as spectacular (not that they aren't still exciting to see).

They're not protected species, but these are on the private property of a land trust.

LOL, well then no! unless you don't want to be invited back.
i actually had a fun arrangement with a few neighbors when i was a kid. i would do yard work for them in exchange for any fruit and seed pods i wanted from their property...it was one of those magical arrangements where both sides feel like they are robbing the other one blind  i had to do so much yard work (child of divorce so TWO suburban, south florida lawns to tend to) so spreading a few bags of mulch was nothing to me and these were big properties with former groves on them so oranges, grapefruits, avocados and flowers a plenty and while i stopped doing any real work for them in middle school i kept visiting their property well through college 
i am jealous of the hikes you( and afid) get to take and see orchids!!!

I'm jealous that you can walk down the street and see orchids in the trees........but not jealous enough to live without snow!
