This thing is tiny, only a few inches tall with minuscule flowers. I photographed it last summer near Edmonton (it doesn't grow in Washington). A friend took me to see it and that was a first for me.

I always love to see your native orchids and compare it to our domestic plants. Would like to know how and when this genus made it over the pond,
