Default Northwestern Twayblade
Listera banksiana (caurina) is common in the northwest, but this is a rare three-leaved form.

Thanks, Bud. It is quite delicate, but also rather nondescript. Most people would not even see it.

Nice find! You have an uncanny knack for finding rare flora.

Thanks, Tindo. We do a lot of looking and eventually it pays off.
