Cool. Looks like it could bite your ear off, if you get too close. LOL

It does look a bit fearsome up close, Kim. Thanks for commenting.

Wow, great variety in colours on this orchid. I can't believe someone mowed most of them down. What were they thinking?

Thanks, Tindo. I don't have any idea what they were thinking - probably weren't thinking at all. They also mowed a ditch that had a stand of a rare Platanthera hybrid on the Hurricane Ridge Road. In neither case was the mowing or strimming necessary.
