Beautiful orchids! And nice photos, as usual. I love orchid season, there are so many nice ones to see. Native orchids are what got me into orchid growing, I enjoyed them so much during hikes that I decided to try some tropical ones at home.

Beautiful!! A few more weeks and we'll be enjoying them as well. The conditions are great for our native orchids right now, so Ron, when you come to visit your family here, bring your cameras!

Our experience was the opposite, Camille. I grew tropical orchids for years and then began to notice more of the natives while hiking and in trying to identify them became very interested in them.

I am never without my camera, but certainly not when we are on our way to Edmonton. The Yellowhead from Blue River to Jasper, the Maligne Lake Road, and if we come over Revelstoke, all the parks and places in the Canadian Rockies are an endless source of delight. Our first backpacking trip in Mount Robson PP we saw 15 or 16 native orchids.

Beautiful coralroots, Ron! I love western spotted coralroot. I've only seen striped coralroot once or twice. There is a yellow coralroot that grows near Packwood, WA. When I saw them I didn't know enough about coralroots to identify them, so I'm not sure if they were a yellow species or a lighter form of a species.

Hi Evan,
A yellow Coralroot could be a yellowish form of the Spotted (rather bright yellow) or Western (pale yellow) Coralroots. It could also be the var. vreedlandii of the Striped Coralroot (yellowish). If quite small and few-flowered, it could be the Early Coralroot (yellowish-green).
