Native Orchids of the Pacific Northwest and the Canadian Rockies: Giant Rattlesnake Orchis and Two Piperias at Goose Rock

Awesome find, and great photos!

Nice, something about green and white orchids with me. the spur looks like a healthy root with that green tip.

Thanks, Sonya and Dave. These are always a welcome find, since they are among the last of our native orchids to bloom.

Here's another close-up picture. The dark green color is also diagnostic.
